Hi Aaron!

At the Unix Accessibility Forum, you announced that ViaVoice will be 
available for Linux through Wizzard software.

I now had a look at the Wizzard Software website and found this web page:

http://www.wizzardsoftware.com/products/IBMttssdk.php

It includes the note: "In order to use the IBM TTS for Linux runtimes, you 
will have to develop your own program application in a Windows 
environment using the ViaVoice TTS SDK for Windows, and then compile it 
on Linux." This means we are not able to use this for KDE, nor for any 
other free software.

I don't know whether this you were referring to this product, or to a 
different product that will be released in the future.

Is there another Linux release for ViaVoice planned, so we can use it?

Olaf
