Thank you for trying the Clip&Talk speech add-on product from PC WholeWare.
This is a freeware version of the Clip&Talk 2.0.  It is designed to work 
with other Windows programs, such as word processors, spread sheet programs,
E-mail readers, Web browsers, ... or just any Windows application that can 
put text to the Clipboard.  Talking controls are done by using hot keys, 
which can be pressed from the main applications directly.  It works like an
add-on part to your favorite applications so they can produce speech as well
as visual output.  The reading length of the freeware version is limited to 
600 words approximately.  There is no reading limitation in the registered 
version.  Please refer to "order.txt" for order information.

You may distribute unaltered copies of this freeware package.
