Hello all-
=20
My school currently uses Kurzweil for our text to speech solution. I
was wondering what everyone else uses, and are you happy with it? If
you could send me a message with a couple of pros and cons of your
current solution, it would be very helpful. We are using Kurzweil 10 so
if your solution is the new version of Kurzweil I would like to hear
about that too.

Thanks!
