Hello Chuck, I have no intention to push you anywhere, but what you say seems to me just another reason for using a higher level interface. Why complicate a simple add-on by interfacing to all possible TTS engines (since there will definitely be people, who don't like this one or that one), when you can just use a general interface without caring what is behind? > So for the moment, this wave reader will not go all the way and use > speech-dispatcher. Well, I'd say: "Why would you go all the way and invent a new TTS abstraction layer, when there already is one - the Speech Dispatcher". Anyway, feel free to make up your mind... Best regards, Tomas
