Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher library for C#?

[Rastislav Kiss <rastislav kish gmail com>]

Hello Janina,
I noticed that few places were created, but didn't hear about Anatad.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely check it out.
Eyes-free was truly a very active place, where one could always
interact directly with the community. I have been kind of missing it,
even though its mail archives took few gigabytes on my storage. :)

Best regards

Rastislav
