That would be good.
If it takes another 6 dollar purchase, I'll do it.

I wonder what the relationship is between the voxin voice and the eloquence
voice used by jaws. As you noted, they sound exactly alike. IBM isn't going
o make any money selling voxin. But they might still be making money off
eloquence if there is some relationship there.
I'm President of the International Association of Visually Impaired
Technologists (www.iavit.org). I'm willing to lead an effort to try to get
IBM to release the source code for voxin. The people on the orca list would
probably be interested in this too.
