[gcompris-devel] About Art4Apps library

[Isabelle DUSTON]

I have just found an other one, even better

http://www.nuance.com/vocalizer5/flash/index.html

It has many languages, I wonder whether there could be a way to ask them for
the permission to use them... it's not as if it would hurt their business,
they make money with industry, not with people like us , who do apps for
kids:(
