That isn't a problem for me, because I've already satisfied that dependency because I have LibreOffice installed. It may cause some issues for some people running it on slower machines though. I did get to hear an OpenMary demo, as they have one on the website, and it indeed sounds very good. I believe it uses HMM voices, which generally give good quality of speech. I couldn't play with it on my own machine though, because Orca doesn't like the Java-based installer. That said, I think something like C++ code is being developed if I recall correctly, so the Java dependency may eventually not be as necessary. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ...
