I've just had a good play with gnopernicus and gnome-speech, and LORD DO
THEY ROCK when they're working together! However, I would love to pick
your/billh's brains about screen reading "bugs" (reading useless info), and
where they come from at some stage.

One big disadvantage to gnopernicus right now: The UI is very unGNOMEish.
This really ought to be resolved before it's added to the desktop release.
It's a big-arse design issue though, not just a 'simple matter of bugs'...

Thanks, this stuff is really cool when it's all going!
