Hi,

that's great news. Hopefully, the SourceForge project
will also provide a plugin for OpenOffice writer.

My understanding, is that if you're using commercial
text to speech voices, like realspeak, then you need a
special licence if you distribute audio created using
this voice, and this licence can be expensive. I
wonder if the project will deal with this issue.

a very happy,
David Bailes.

Apologies for cross posting
Microsoft and open-source site SourceForge plan to
offer a free plug-in early 
next year that will convert Office 2007 files to the
Daisy format, which 
translates text to speech.
