<br>
Hi Aaron!<br>
<br>
At the Unix Accessibility Forum, you announced that ViaVoice will be <br>
available for Linux through Wizzard software.<br>
<br>
I now had a look at the Wizzard Software website and found this web page:<br>
<br>
</tt><tt><a href="http://www.wizzardsoftware.com/products/IBMttssdk.php">http://www.wizzardsoftware.com/products/IBMttssdk.php</a></tt><tt><br>
<br>
It includes the note: "In order to use the IBM TTS for Linux runtimes, you <br>
will have to develop your own program application in a Windows <br>
environment using the ViaVoice TTS SDK for Windows, and then compile it <br>
on Linux." This means we are not able to use this for KDE, nor for any <br>
other free software.<br>
<br>
I don't know whether this you were referring to this product, or to a <br>
different product that will be released in the future.<br>
<br>
Is there another Linux release for ViaVoice planned, so we can use it?<br>
<br>
