plan for software dectalk?

[Patricia Logan]

Hi, Tylor,

    Is the Canadian dollar really worth only half as much as the U.S.
dollor now?  Since I know someone who just paid--what is it?--$1000 for
JAWS $50 doesn't sound like a lot.

     Having just spend several hours at the library using the Kurzweil
reader I have to say that I like the older Dectalk voices and would love
to have access to good Spanish speech.  I would also enjoy the luxury of
being able to listen to books read by a female voice.  But it certainly
isn't a necessity.  And when I have sufficient living room to have a
scanner at my side I expect I'll be using OCRshop for linux.
