[Blake Roberts]

I agree with Brandon M. If the Speech Player synthesizer can be used with
other screen readers it may have more users.

i think you should see about making one that works with other screen

if I have his permission to turn this into open source speech synthesizer
similar to eloquence. I think that speech player has changed too much now,
and many people will not like it as much. What do you think? Should I do
this? I bet with a little help, I think it would be easy. Plus, it would
make it very easy for anybody wanting to speech synthesizer or, it would
make it easy for anybody wanting a speech synthesizer.. I am really excited
to see what you think. Also, should we make one that works with other
screenreaders?
