Well John-and-All, yes I remember Oralux. I rather liked the US/Russian speech engine. Considering I am not usually a fan of software speech solutions, that one was comfortable listening. At that time I tried running YASR but once I would try-and-save my settings, it would freeze. I wrote to the oralux site, asking about purchasing Voxen, but he seemed to imply it was just for the graphical side. I B M type speech is another whre I could putup with it. Hart
