Hi, I am a student at Dalhousie University. I have made my own program and am trying to boost its popularity. If you've never heard of it, please download it and give it a try, I am sure you will find it helpful. Speak: What does it do? Speak combines the functionality of Microsoft Voice with Microsoft Agent animated characters to read your documents, email messages, Web pages, or Clipboard text. It ships with the Genie character, but you can download other characters from the ShadiSoft.com, as you like. Just keep the Microsoft Agent character on top of your desktop and click on him whenever you want him to read, plus a new feature that allows automatic reading when anything new is copied to the clipboard. Speak also supports voice recognition (microphone required) and can launch files with associations (such as Web pages, MP3 files, and graphics files) as well as executables, and perform simple tasks such as shutting down your computer. You can also use it to create scheduled reminders that are read aloud when the time is right. This download contains the Microsoft Agent ActiveX control. To activate the optional speech recognition features, you have to download the Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine. There are many versions of it. Speak & Mail which supports mail, and Speak Lite, which has no Voice Recognition capabilities. I'm also willing to have a special Price for School or universities as it could be used for those who have trouble reading or for the visually impaired. It is also helpful for those long articles that require a lot of concentration, it would make it much easier to just listen to the character read it out. I started putting it on CDs as well lately. Please let me know if you have any questions and I appreciate your opinion. http://www.shadisoft.com Thank you. Shadi
