Hi Amro,

Yes, I can certainly send you a demo.  Want me to do that?  To my knowledge,
the demo includes all voices and languages available.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve, I'm with you, but cause Arabic is very different beast it might 
not be as straightforward for the shark and other screen readers for that 
matter to handle it. So would you be able to find out for me if I can get a 
demo of the Acapela voices? I can see at least two more potential buyers on 
this list! :-)

Cheers,
Amro
