Works ok for me on FFox v2 and v3 on my Windows XP machines, but when
trying it on IE v6.0 the speech is played back REALLY fast. Like super
chipmunk style.
I tried a duration of 5.5, but that mainly just made the pauses between
the words longer, but was still very high pitched and fast.
Also, it's really annoying that the text that I just typed in to test
disappears. I HATE it when websites forget what I just input, and when
writing scripts I hate loosing or throwing away user input.
But still, good work on the VOX, too bad all text to speech synthesisers
I've used sound like a computer. My Dad blurted out when I first went to
your site 'Ohh I was playing with text to speech 30 years ago.'
I can see things like this being a big plus for usability.

For those of you who were asking about the PHP Text-To-Speech
system I had running, it's back online now. If you have a few free
seconds, please take a look at http://www.pilotpig.net/txt2wav.php and
let me know if it's working for sure in your browser and on your OS.
With a bit more time being available to devote to non-paid
projects, and hopefully getting a bit better still in the next week or
so, I've had time to be able to work more with the PHP project and the
PHP-VOX. When I make enough improvements to the installation routines
so that folks can easily do it on their own servers, I'll have the
source available for download.
Thanks, everyone. Hope you're all enjoying the weekend.
kick-ass dan, i cant wait until the source is out there :D
