[pchelpers] Re: Web site for parents?

Hi Pen,

I wasn't specifically looking only for text-to-speech and speech
recognition; I was looking for sites that discuss setting up computers
for kids, and have more than just a single page on the subject. I saw
one page that suggested some adjustments to Windows, but I can easily
double the number of suggestions on that subject.

I intend to take a closer look at the sites that you listed though,
since I'm sure that the built-in speech support is basic (I don't have
speakers hooked up yet, so can't tell what it's like).

Unless someone can find something, I guess I'll be writing something
myself. :)

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
