Wayyyyy back, in OS 9, there was a program that allowed u to type in words/sentence, and the mono-mac warning voice would speak the words.
Is there something like that in OSX, and where is it.
Need broadcast voice for apple package.

yes services > speech > start speaking text.
Should be in your program menu. You have to highlight the text you want to hear in some programs.

Wow, that was easy, a little snapz pro action, and it's all ready in after effects.
Thank's guys/gals for responding so fast, appreciate the help.

what do you mean way back?
it's always been there- I meant that I haven't used it since way back when Mac OS9 was all the rage, along with break boards, and "frankie says relax" shirts - I'm old.frediscrazy

when I was at Uni a friend and I were fortunate enough to have a computer, and in the evenings sometimes we would compose these really difficult sentences or paragraphs and we would write it back wards and read it as we assumed it would sound then record it and play it backwards therefore playing it forwards if you will and the results were impressive :D, we also took a fair bit of acid at the time which enhanced the experience exponentially :).
- I did that as well! hahaha
