Please don't shout. Speech synthesis is associated in my mind with sound generation, which is rather platform-specific. R is a platform agnostic research tool. R can be interfaced with many kinds of external libraries, so many things are possible. However, they aren't necessarily simple, and hiding operating system differences can take a lot of work. Your expectation that this be "simple" is what seems unwarranted to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... Go Live...
