i wonder, how do you purchase a voice after it has expired? cause it will only let me play the voice.
Great Walkthrough
Thank you for this great walkthrough. I don't currently have this app, but after listening to your demo and reading about the app here and in this month's issue of "Accessworld" I'm sold. One feature that will especially come in handy for me is the reading of .pdf files, as I've encountered more than a few of these. Edit: I have still not quite figured out how to use this app, but I just downloaded your audio walkthrough onto a thumb drive for later listening.
