Fonix 2



I ordered iSpeak from Fonix from CompUSA tonight for $69.00 with a 
$30.00 rebate.  Sounds like a very interesting program. Amazon also 
sells it at a discount but doesn't mention the rebate; they have it 
listed under voice recognition. I guess Text-to-Speech is not a well 
known function yet.

I checked out the Fonix web page again and found more information on 
this program.They do have a multi-language demo but I couldn't figure 
out if it comes with iSpeak.  I'll  know soon enough and will report on 
my experience with playing PG texts.  I am really looking forward to 
this experiment. Users could compose letters or whatever in txt. files 
and hear their own words read back to them!  A new way to proof-read! 
Thanks to L. E.  for the information.
