Hi: I don't know if Kirk plans to support viavoice or not. I do know that one of the plans is to severely hack rsynth and turn it into something respectable and make it a decent opensource software synth that, of course, speakup would be able to work with. I believe it's going by the name of tuxtalk at present. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang <gshang10@scu.edu.au> ICQ number 43634701
