>> Vince,
>> I believe what your talking about is Voice Recognition and not
>> Tex-to-Speech. These are two different things. Voice Recognition you
>> actually need to practice with so it understands what you are saying.
>> Where Text to Speech actually would would read the screen to you. It also
>> depends on what type of cell phone you purchase as well.
