Hi,

You are correct. It works pretty well with the screen reader.
I just implemented speed and pitch controls into the driver, except
they're backwards.

This was interesting to get working.

At Blake, you may remember when I had mentioned the MKVoice project I
was going to do for this. In my opinion, I think this works better.

Thanks,

Brandon
