Gena, There is an Emacspeak server for Festival Lite; it has a web page at http://eflite.sf.net. FLite can run on ARM-based systems, so it should be theoretically possible to use Emacspeak on a handheld (provided that you have sufficient storage), although no one has tried to do this that I know of. -- Michael Gorse / AIM:linvortex / http://mgorse.home.dhs.org --
