Re: Text reader

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Jonh:

Most speech synthesizers come with a standalone application that will 
take a text file as input.  eSpeak, for example, provides the 'espeak' 
application that takes a '-f' parameter that lets you specify a file.

I suspect, however, that this is pretty insufficient for most heavy 
speech users.  Is there something else that you have in mind?
