Hi Nicol, I still have SAPI read the tarot cards since it would require Sarah to read almost 100 more things and would make the game much larger. I have the Kate voice read the cards since she is on my system but the game will read the cards by what ever voices you already have, Kate is not included with the game! You hit v to choose your preferred voice but this will only be necessary in the Divination classroom. When Sarah first tries out the tarot deck, she gets some magical energy from the cards.
When Sarah reads the books in the library it is not her voice but the voice of the book that speaks. So when she gets to the book that screams, it is the book itself screaming not Sarah. Harry does something like this in the first Harry Potter book. Some books have clues to puzzles in the game while others give her additional magical power to cast spells. I was originally going to withhold some spells until she read the book but changed my mind and gave her all the spells in the demo level. After all, she is a graduate of the Salem school so she should have some knowledge of the spells. Both the tarot feature and the library are available only to registered owners of the game, and are not in the demo level.
