Oy vey... what *WAS* the guild thinking when they filed this? Seriously.
What about people who are legally blind and *ALREADY* use MS-Sam or another text-to-speech program on their computers to read, well, just about everything that's on their screens. This would include PDF documents that they use, like eBooks. Is the guild prepared to sue them for breach of copyright laws because they bought an electronic document for "viewing only" and are now using it in an audible form.
I think not.
Actually you CAN find this already online. Check out: http://www.verbix.com/
(from the site):
"Verbix is an independent non-profit organization that aims to promote and protect linguistic diversity [UNESCO Observatory: Multilingualism]. This site contains verb conjugations for hundreds of languages, ranging from national and international languages to regional and even extinct languages."
VERY handy in any language course I've taken!
