FYI. This is not free software, but seems interesting for folks looking to do online text to speech conversion: From: Joe messanella <j.messanella@gmail.com> To: gbnewby@pglaf.org Subject: Re: text to speech solution blurb The web is essential for most of us , unfortunately 20% of the US population have various reading issues! 2 years ago I experienced a racing bike accident, yes, over the handle bars and onto my head. For 6 weeks my balance was compromised, pronunciation was inconsistent, my world - gray! I had limited tolerance for "computers," 6 months later the effects could still be felt. Still, as unfortunate as that may seem, I may now a better person for it. At least my sense of purpose has been renewed. I will soon be working for ( www.voice-corp.com ), a small company that offers inexpensive "service based" text to speech solutions, web visitors just click on the listen icon and a player reads the web text or downloads it in mp3 format. I did not mention my accident during my interview however! Would it matter? joe.messanella@voice-corp.com
