Hi Glen,
Yes, I've tried it and because of it's graffical nature, it doesn't work
with a screen to speach program. I don't know why that is but understand
that it's related to the routeens and the desire for it to be more of a gui
than what I guess would be a program that writes directly to bias? That's
about all I can say to explain why but it didn't read for me at all when
having installed it and that was within the past number of months or so.
It sounds as though Web Spyder likewise wouldn't work for the same
reason.
Thanks anyways for the info! Too bad their isn't someother better
choice, Nettamer is poor for browsing and links is OK I guess sometimes but
not my favorite.
Mark
