From the MacWarehouse catalog: "SmoothTalker converts Mac text and numbers into spoken language, using the Mac's sound generator and speaker." Price is $33. Both MacWarehouse and MacConnection advertise it as not copy protected. I'm still not sure I believe that. It is not one of the products that offers a money back guarantee through MacConnection. The publisher differs depending upon which ad you read (Electronic Arts or First Byte). Shirley Kehr
