Hi Robert and all,
I was thinking last night, which is a dangerous thing, I know.
Robert, have you ever considered integrating IYP into existing screen
readers for speech output? All of the modern screen readers have access
to many high quality voices. For example, JAWS makes the entire
Vocalizer Expressive suite of voices available at no additional charge.
For NVDA, there is an ad-on that makes these voices available for a fee.
The good news is that there is a dll that makes this entire process
fairly plug and play (says the non-programmer).
The link is:

The speech in modern screen readers is extremely responsive. More
responsive than SAPI generally.
This is obviously not a must have feature. Just something to consider.
I'm posting this to the list to get other people's thoughts.
Thanks!
