On a similar note, there's a system called 'emacsspeak' that does the
same thing for emacs; you're limited to using emacs with it, of
course, but since emacs has/is capable of having everything, that's
not a very big restriction.  See the emacsspeak-HOWTO at the Linux
Documentation Project ( http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP ) for information
on supported speech synths and setup under Linux.
