[gui-talk] text to speech programs.

[Chris & Doris]

yes, you should be able to use the REalspeak voices from Nuance as a 
voice for window eyes though I do not know how responsive this will 
be. The REalspeak voices are sapi 5 compliant and you will need to 
configure window eyes accordingly.

I am not a win eyes user so someone else will be better equipped to 
give you detailed instructions for this.

Cheers,

Doris
