hi there, i wanted to setup a text reader for my girlfriend, who has dyslexia. i used gnopernicus, and it really isnt what i was expecting at all. it is clearly pitched for blind people and skips out the range in between. what i was looking for was a program (probably best implemented as an applet) which when clicked, would read the currently selected text and [more complicated] to have maybe some form of grammatical (not just spelling) checker. options to change speech parameters would also be nice. does such a program already exist? grammatical checker aside, this should really be quite a trivial program to code up, and i may attempt it myself; although with many other things on and learning gnome2 programming from scratch, this may take me a loooong time. cheers, Sam -- Johnson's First Law: When any mechanical contrivance fails, it will do so at the most inconvenient possible time.
