Speech Queue ReviewPlay, pause, and stop... yay! - Version: 1.0, 2/12/2005 04:09PM PST

Use this application to open a text file and make it speak, pause, and stop with keyboard commands! The sorely missing features in Apples Services> Speech> Speak text. 5 stars for this alone. Can't figure out how to queue things though.

this for a while it now gets five stars. Great stuff. Good job. I write professionally and haved used several text to speech products on OS9 and OS X. This is as good as the one on Nisus for OS9, which was by far the best of the bunch. Great work.
