  Sorry but no, we're talking about the stand-alone American Heritage talking 
dictionary and thesaurus not the one from Kurzweil.

  Hi Alice! Sorry but the American heritage version that is truly accessible
  has been out of the market for a very long time now. It is the best writing
  tool I've ever had. I still have the original disk but is scratched and good
  thing is I made not one but two backups. Right now I'm looking for something
  similar that I can use with windows7 and I'm even willing to dish-out big
  money if only I could find something as good and friendly as the American
  Heritage.

  Vic

    Hi,  Vic,
        Where did you find the American Heritage? I'm still using XP and JAWS
  9, so it should work for me. It might be a good alternative/addition to
  dictionary.com and such.
        Good luck finding something for your new system.

    Thanks.
    Alice

      Hi all!

      Since windows 3.1 I've been using a really nice and Jaws friendly
  talking dictionary which is American heritage v3.5 and I've used it until
  XP. Just got a new computer with windows 7 today and of course I cannot
  install it anymore. I have windows 7 home but am willing to upgrade to pro
  if it would make it work again. But the really good thing is if I were to
  find a speech friendly dictionary and thesaurus that will work with win7 off
  the box. Does anyone have any suggestion?
