A number of possibilities are under investigation. I hope that the new speech drivers, if you decide to implement them, sound better than MacinTalk. I have no idea what the inherent limitations of this type of thing are, but it *is* kind of a bummer that speech off my Mac II sounds the same as the speech off a Mac 128, which sounds the same as a $10 Speak and Spell. -Sho
