Sure it works, but if you like to arrow alot through a screen, the Dec-Talk is very slow to be interrupted. Also, there are some oddities in for example, version 4.1 c. When a word finishes with a sound of a vowel, it is jammed together with the beginning of the next word, so he took becomes hetook. Also, if there are 2 consecutive punctuations, I think they are spoken. If numbers-and-letters are mixed in the same word, they are spoken charictor by charictor. And lastly, I don't know of a way to ajust how Dec-Talk is handling numbers? Hart
