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!

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