Hi there, if the blt won't work for you then you're limitted to getting a supported synth if you don't own any of the supported synths at the moment, believe you can get the list of supported synths by consulting the speakup faq, there's a link to the faq right on the speakup web site's front page http://www.linux-speakup.org. I'm lazy so I don't want to list them here. However, if you have problems finding a list of supported synths write and I'd be happy to dig the stuff up. Hth and good luck!

Microsoft products are successful -- they make a lot of money -- but that doesn't make them innovative, or even particularly good." -ROBERT X.
