The cost to the school is for the software.

So - can I use Word in xp and get it to read the text to me?  We run xp, not vista, and we don't use apples macs.

Surely there is no software cost?

If you go into 'system preferences' and select 'speech' and
choose 'text to speech'.

You can then choose from around twenty four voices (my
preference for clarity is Victoria). You can also set keys
which activate text to speech etc.

This is in OS X (Apple Mac). I think windows has something
similar but it had nowhere near the same level of clarity
when I last heard it.

Hope this helps
