John:

Re: Text to Speech.

It's rather simple and fun.
You have to turn on some extensions and control panels with Extensions Manager or Conflict catcher.
Under 8:
Turn on "Speech manager", "Speech" and "Macintalk".
After restarting you open Simple Text, write a phrase and under the "Sound" menu you have several choices of voices, etc.
Apparently also Word 98 has the same capabilities.

Good luck,

Fernando

Text-to-speech is everywhere

Off the top of my head, SimpleText, Word 98, and Nisus Writer all do text-to-speech. Nisus does the best job, IMHO: you can tell Nisus what language the text was written in, and it will pronounce it in the proper manner.
