Hi, Maybe one of those you're thinking of, or another, from the UK: http://www.beam.ltd.uk/xvil It uses Viavoice for voice synth. I have not used it myself. Some folks hwo've tried it have had poor success, but according to the beam people it's a free beta under development. Can't hurt to encourage them to continue development, eh? --terry You wrote: -=> There is a gnome-based project to develop screen-reader for gnome.
