        I have been engaged in developing educational software for mentally
        retarded children.
        
        One of quite a few special problems to consider is a difficulty in
        passing along messages (errors and guidelines) in a manner that
        1) will be noticed and 2) does not totally stop the execution if
        the message is ignored.
        
        Speach could be a possible solution, which brings me to my
        question, is there anybody out there that knows of references to,
        and of cource source code describing Speach-synthesizers?
        Preferably those written in Turbo Pascal.
        
        Naturally, I'm aware of the fact that there are commercial products
        lying around. Those have a few big disadvantages though.
        1. They are quite expensive
        2. One more component must be bought/transported/connected and
        persuaded to work in all possible machines.
        
        All hints would be grately appreciated.
