The Jan. 28 issue of PC Week favorably reviews Monologue 2.0, $149 from First Byte of Santa Ana, CA, (714) 432-1740. Excerpts: "...plays through an internal or auxiliary speaker. The voice quality is surprisingly coherent, especially on fast computers... can be easily programmed into new applications or accessed from within packages such as Lotus 1-2-3 or dBASE... runs as a TSR, requiring between 140K and 225K bytes of RAM. If expanded memory or XMS memory is available, the program uses it, using only 45K bytes of base RAM." Will allow you to mark any text on the screen and will speak it; will work with Sound Blaster with esp. high quality; will NOT work under Desqview or Windows due to timing considerations. --Lee ==doron@cs.cornell.edu========================================================= = ".Sig! .Sig a .sog! .Sig it loud; .sig it .strog!" = ========= -- Karen Carpenter with a head cold =================================
