Ultrasonix

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi,

	Maybe one of those you're thinking of, or another, from the UK:

	http://www.beam.ltd.uk/xvil

	It uses Viavoice for voice synth. I have not used it myself. Some folks hwo've tried it have had poor success, but according to the beam people it's a free beta under development. Can't hurt to encourage them to continue development, eh?
