Phone Call from Jock Scot!

[Bugbear]

Another thought (if you haven't already):

Skype

Yes, someday I would like to get hooked up with that. Sadly, I will need to upgrade my computer to use that kind of service. It may require two sound cards because of my screen reader/speach synthisiser.

Which, by the way, I did let Jock Scot listen to during our chat. He says it sounds like chip monk talk. That's just the voice that works best for me and I am use to, but I could set it to different voices and pitches.

Most sound cards these days are multi-channel and can handle our speech, music, and even Skype at the same time. Since I like you, use speech output, I'd be happy to assist you with Skyping. Then I can quiz you on blind gardening and sewing.

Ya, Fox, I wish it was multi-channel, but on this lap top, it seems to be all routed through one volume control. What I really would like is a sound card just for the speach, then I could Skype or patch the music over to a stereo withouth the speach blasting over it. LOL

As far as blind gardening and sewing... I grow cacti and that helps with the sewing. LOL
