I was so surprised to learn that nowadays, even inexpensive computers can read back what is written. Mine has a very nice, masculine voice that has yet to mispronounce anything.

Or dream. Which instantly made me think of "tears in the rain"....Eve Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015761600962360110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-75108188946931041162019-08-10T09:45:18.216-04:002019-08-10T09:45:18.216-04:00Yes.
