on windows, my brother-in-law uses jaws. apparently, that's the most popular windows software for the blind. it's commercial and it still sounds robotic. there's probably not much that can be done about that. it'll be a LONG while before software understands what it's reading well enough to put the appropriate emotions or rising and falling tones into what it says. until that time, the only way to make readers for the blind that don't sound wrogn is to have them speak in a monotone. thus robotic. what are the clients trying to do? some sort of call center robot that can talk to people from a script and not sound like a robot? :-). hehehe. i see that there are some pointers to possible solutions. if you find something that actually sounds human post to the list :-). my brother-in-law and his network of blind friends might be able to benefit from your research :-). tiger _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
