Rick,

Thanks for the idea.  That may work in some instances.  However most of 
the text that needs to be read is changed dynamically based upon user 
supplied information.  The information is placed in a variable and the 
revspeak command uses the contents of the variable as its source for 
speakable text. Since I can't know ahead of time what the user will 
place in the variables I can't really make sound files ahead of time.

This scheme works quite well on the mac side of the aisle.  From what I 
have seen thus far there is a chance that it might also work on the 
windows side as well if there is at least one default voice available.

If someone could run this script on a windows computer and report back 
on the result I would be most appreciative.

on mouseUp
revSetSpeechVoice "Victoria" -- this is the default voice I will be 
using on mac systems

-- Since "Victoria" isn't a voice that is available on the windows 
platform, rev ( or the system?)should default to any available voice
-- "Sam" for instance.
revSpeak "This voice isn't Victoria"

-- if you hear sam or some other voice then I don't have to be too 
concerned 

end mouseUp

Thanks

Steve
