Sounds intriguing, but:
-what is tts?!? (text to speach?)
-what does a tts program do?!?
-which programs are out there and which one is best?/easiest to use?
-what are carats (the only ones I know are the ones that go on your finger :wink: )?!?
-how do carats mess up tts voices?!?

You see, a lot of interest and a lot of questions mean you'd have to post a little guide for absolute beginners - please!!!
