Some time ago I had downloaded OO as an alternative to spending the $100 to get the real deal. I have a handicap that can be analogized as gray hair. It can be treated but never really goes away. Having said that, I am endlessly looking for solutions that are very cost effective, can be support by associations and humanitarian aid programs. Stephen Hawking is my inspiration in doing so. Now to the point dear governors=92, I wrote an e-mail to OO some time ago expressing curiosity as= to what OO is doing about STT/TTS. I offered my services to test and provide quality feedback for such an endeavor. I was sure your organization was working on their solution to this, as the products range from trial free, low-end MS included in windows, to $499.00 a pop. The little guy or handicapped are seldom afforded that kind of money. I never heard back from OO?
