Hello Wayne - 

CA>> Found what seems to be a good video editing application
CA>> with a tutorial MPG that is well thought out but the
CA>> narrator has such a 'thick' accent when speaking English
CA>> and talks so fast it's difficult to follow. :-\ I realize
CA>> this sounds petty but the accent is _really_ 'thick' and
CA>> it seems to be a program that took some time to write. Why
CA>> lose the audience for lack of a narration in clearly
CA>> pronounced English? 

MM>> An interesting concept, even if not well done! Would you
MM>> be so kind as to post a name for that application? I've
MM>> gotten to the point where I can no longer read .doc files
MM>> without a series of unintended extended 'naps', and by
MM>> that time, I've forgotten where I left off and can NEVER
MM>> get to the end. :-(( 

WC> My old SoundBlaster software from 1994 has a primitive
WC> SBTalker application that will read text files. Kinda
WC> robotic sounding and can be annoying at times but it works. 

W2K has a built in screen reader that 'talks'. I stumbled onto
it way back when I first got this machine and turned it on just
to hear it 'speak'. It's not too terribly bad and compares well
to third party apps purporting to do much the same. Funny
really that people still try to sell third party software to do
what is built into newer Windows. :-)
