Are there any free word pronouncers online. A non-downloadable one would be great. One that ran off of Java or something.

Yes, can't remember where they are though. There is a java library for this.

I don't want to write one though. Just want to use one.

The java library that I spoke of just takes a string of text and speaks it out. I'll ask my friend what it was that he used sometime tomorrow if he responds by then.

Well there is one that you can download, it's about a meg by the people who did a music program called Mixx. It's one one of my backup CD's.

Thanks. The one at http://voxmachina.sytes.net/ seems to work well enough.
