Depending on whether the utility/s were useable with Jaws, I'd be happy to take some of it on.

I couldn't get it to work adequately, although my recording setup was less than ideal, resulating in what people will remember at the time as being quite noisy recordings. Other than that, it's just a matter of running the voice file generation tools, which is not too onerous. Don't underestimate the time that sorting through and renaming 500 odd sample files takes though. Trust me. I've done it. Christi -- No virus found in this incoming message.
