I'm suprised this is online! Thanks. THe quality is ok and it worked without hassle. It's just what I was looking for. Thank you. Please feel free to post other links as they come up. A 'similar' search using google showed me a few other pages that might work similarly. Just curious, zep, how do you use Ispeech? Anything special or just to help ease the load of typing all day?

I've never sent a text, and I had my cell phone turned off a few months ago and do not miss it. I also drive very little, and on week-ends Kevin drives us to the stores. I wonder why no one seems to be getting tickets for driving while texting. My not-too-bright niece had a layover in L.A. a few years ago (back when I lived in Venice), and she was unable to call me using a pay phone at the airport because she kept dialing 1+area code, and I was in the same area code as the airport, and back then, you did not have to dial the area code, and so she had to borrow someone's cell phone to call me. We did buy a cell phone in Orvieto, Italy (on our way to Florence) so that I could call the hotel and confirm where to park and exactly how to get there, but I used the phone while Kevin was driving. I also had a cell phone in Costa Rica (to call hotels), but again I used the phone while Kevin was driving. I guess most of my cell phone conversations have been either in Italian or Spanish. We had GPS in the cars in both Italy and Costa Rica, but sometimes that was not enough, especially when roads were unexpectedly closed. Before we were so connected, we may have gotten lost a bit more often, like Kevin and I did on our first trip to Death Valley.

If you start a test thread in KT and don't want to clutter the forum, you can delete it within a certain time--an hour, IIRC--just ask that no comments be added. Two nights ago the HT music thread (also posted to Kitchens) wasn't loading video's, so I posted a test thread in Tests. My video loaded, so I don't know if that was just a glitch in HT & Kitchens, or if there is a difference in the Test forum. I usually delete my test threads in the Test forum, too. Speaking of testing, I'm adding a video here, to see if it's been corrected:
