Sound-to-slurp - Apple didn't release its speech synthesis in the mp2000, but did release voice recording. My program and recommended hardware will get you some of the features of the new mp2000 in case you are waiting for the 2010 with more speech recognition like I am. I made a little program to make all the newton message pads be able to talk just a little (I may work out a crude phonetics newtonscript plugin later). Paul M. Sheldon psheldon@utdallas.edu
