Hi What clip.exe allows you to do is pipe something from the dos command prompt to a GUI interface. I said you could try this because I am not sure if this is going to work on my windows 7 machine 64 bit home premium, and I haven't got time to test it, and when I test I test!!!. I would just use autoit anyway which would allow me to probe the clipboard. You can in VBScript get at the command prompt or CMD, and have the results sent back to where you started from, if this is not the case then it should be. the next move is coppying it to a variable or text file and sending this to the speech object. Please do your research. It's a nice little utility, and there are others dependent on operating systems. Warm regards. Martin Webster. I.T. team leader for kirklees visual impairment network (KVIN)
