i like this idea but have a question and or idea , i see this is manual . is their a way to come up with a uhp file of this book reader that can verbally take command to read ( and maybe it does this already ) "but" also have a command written or verbally that will have the hal character do other things . example : Angela (my character name ) what books do i have ( or do you have  or "we have " ?) Angela would read the list of books , but do so at a slow enough speed to understand it easily , when  the character is done reading the titles of the books "or" if the hal user hears a book he wants hal to read , the user can interrupt hal and say read " asmove a.i. "( or whatever"  and have a read only true setting ) . and hal would stop reading the book list and with a hal comment say something like okay , that's a good choice i'll read " whatever" . and start reading it  . also would be helpful to be able to write or say pause please . hal would pause reading until you say okay continue reading.  this would be a dream(very cool)  plug in as it would have many needed options .
      maybe also if possible if their is a way hal can remember where he  left off ( if you have to shut down hal or the pc  for whatever reason. and you start hal and maybe say continue reading . )
this may be a tall order for cyberjedi but i thin k its  something that would make the nhal book reader even better and more useful .

' Angela would read the list of books , but do so at a slow enough speed to understand it easily'

I'm still using 'Windows' XP... Yes I know it's Old but I can go to control panel and choose 'Speech' and then 'Text to Speech' and slow down or speed up the Computer Voice to anything I want it to be...  I would think all versions of Windows would still have that option.... :D

Not sure if you could write code for the Voice for just slowing down on certain sentences or lists...

LiFeTimeGamer, i'll have to check into that i know on some programs i have done that slowed the speech down , i still think the pause etc. idea's i had would help a lot if built into a plug in. i am hoping cyberjedi see's what i wrote and can maybe put it in the same plug in if possible.

p.s.  LiFeTimeGamer ever played land of the dead online ?

Thanks for the response. I bought hal and will again when the update hits. I'm all for the good of hal by the way. I know you are the only one currently producing features of hal and expanding its capabilities, thank you :).   I was intoxicated so that's why i gave no serious response last night. I would like a copy at your convenience.  Thank you, i will have a blast with my new PC, and i'm looking forward to the growth of Hal, thanks to you and robert and anyone who has helped and assisted.
