It's fun as well as useful, Nick. I particularly like the "Invisible Agent".

My only suggestion is I'd like to see the agent respond AFTER a combo change or button click rather than on mousedown. For those two controls users would generally want the result rather than the beginning value.

Thanks for posting it.

>FoxSpeaker is an applicaton that allows you to add speech capabilities to your VFP forms on a control-by-control basis. Any form can be turned into an interactive demo or tutorial easily. FoxSpeaker does not require any changes to your forms except adding one button to switch FoxSpeaker on/off.
>
>FoxSpeaker is written in Visual FoxPro and uses Microsoft Agent 2.0 ActiveX control. It is compiled as VFP 5 EXE, so it works in both VFP 5 and 6. Please see FOXSPEAKER.DOC. Demo form is also provided.

>When you enable FoxSpeaker (assuming Microsoft Agent and speech engine are installed) the Microsoft Agent character will appear on your form, and as you click on the form controls it will move to the control, highlight the control with the red rectangle and tell you the value and comment which you may add with Right Click on your control. You may click/add comments to any form control, including disabled controls, labels, shapes, containers, grid columns, etc. When FoxSpeaker is enabled your form stays fully operational.
