Hi all, I tried the Artic Spirit, which is an external synthesizer which connects to the serial port. I found it to be quite responsive for the most part, and I am a fast typist. The only small problem with it was that, when arrowing down through text, the speech sometimes lagged behind. But this did not happen when I typed. I'm not sure of the exact price, but I believe it was somewhere around $200.00. Hope this helps. Sue - Visit the jfw ml web page: http://jfw.cjb.net
