Thanks in advance, If you go to the Modified Speakup home page at http://www.speakupmodified.org, there is complete and detailed documentation on just how to do what you're wanting to do. You should know before you start, however, that currently only one or two external speech synthesizers are supported for performing the installation. After you install, you can add software speech capability by purchasing the new TTSynth package (see the aforementioned web page for details). HTH
