No sorry, wish I could help you with the IE add-on. Hopefully someone will come along with down the road.

But I don't know how you create them. Do you? Last time I checked IE toolbars were very hard to create and needed to be developed using C++ and MS Visual Studio. Thanks Mark I would create an add-on for IE7. But I don't know how you create them. Do you?

As far as the short comings, at the time the post was written, I was a little disappointed to see only two voices were available with the extension while four voices are available on your site. Not a big deal (development time needs to be factor in) but the other voices did make a little bit of a difference in voice quality and it's much more convenient to use Firefox. Better over all voice quality. Some are more robotic than others, which narrows down the selection. This is something I'm sure you guys will improve over time (since it carries a high cost to development). No add-on available for IE7. Yea, I know more people use Firefox, but there is that "other" market share which can not be ignored. Hey...it might help get more donations ;-) (http://www.spokentext.net/s_faq.php?lang=en#addVoices). Also, just an FYI the download link for the FF extension is not working. Email is on the way for the notification. Keep up the great service! @Mark McKay

You really summed up our Firefox extension, how to use it and why it is so convenient. I could have not done it better. And I wrote it :-) You mentioned that our site had some short comings, what were they? I am curious to hear your opinions. We are always working on the site and the extension. So feed back is most welcome. If you would like to be on our beta mailing list for new features and updates send me an email and I will add you to the list. Thanks again for the great post. Mark McKay Designer/Developer of SpokenText.net Great post!
