Hi Dane,
On the contrary, there are standards for speech synthesis. No one
really uses hardware synths anymore, but for software synthesizers,
there are indeed standards in place. Under Windows it is SAPI, and
under Mac it is the Apple Speech Engine. This is what allows so many
synths to be used with Window-Eyess, Jaws, or VoiceOver on their
respective platforms. Standards are a beautiful thing.

Well, there's never been one for speech synths so I guess why should
their be one for Braille Displays? <smile>.
