Cheers Kevin

Got the voices. As with anything free, they took a bit of tracking down. Some 
are very good considering they are free, think Mike is the best.

  If you have a recent version of JAWS, you'll have the Daniel voice that can 
be selected in Text Aloud.  Also, if you go to the downloads section of the 
NextUp web site, towards the bottom of the list of voices, there's a set of 
free voices that really are very good for most purposes.

  Regards.

    Hi Barbara, yes, you need to buy any additional voices. I bought Daniel 
from them. I think it cost me about 30 quid. They also do cheaper voices I 
think, but I didn't find them as good.
      One nice thing about text aloud is that you don't have to pay for 
upgrades. Once you've bought it that's it.

      Hi John

      Many thanks for this info. I've downloaded it and got it working a treat 
with no access problems whatsoever. I only have the Sappy 5 Sam voice at the 
minute. If you have purchased the full version, do you get additional voices, 
or do you have to pay extra for more voices? Sam is okay for short files, but I 
think if I had to listen to him for any length of time I might want to punch 
him!

          Hi All

          I need to do something either for free or for a small cost.

          I have some MS Word notes for a student. The student has requested 
them in audio format. How can I do this?
