There may be a problem since there are  two pronunciation standards, classical 
and ecclesiastical, the first being what is taught in America outside the 
Catholic Church.

  I really doubt it. I mean, you can write, but when it comes to spelling, nop. 
I am a roman-language speaker (mother tongue is spanish) and I took a 15 week 
corse in italian. It just doesn't do. But one can try. I mean, isn't latin dead 
or something? I thought that no one spoke it any more except the church. 
However, if you can't find anything, use italian and spanish. Those are the 
most that aproximate to latin.

  This may sound dumb, but would another romance language suffice?  For 
example, would Italian be a reasonably close match?

  Hi,

   

  Does anyone know of a SAPI5 Latin speech sythesiser. 

   

  One of our students who uses JAWS is 4 weeks into 20 week Latin course. We 
need a Latin voice for JAWS and I've been told that there isn't one but that 
JAWS will work with a SAPI 5 speech sythesiser for Latin. Does anyone know of 
one?

   

  Hope you can help,.

   

  Carol
