<div>Good morning E.A.,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hopefully you can provide a bit of advice. I attempted to instacll the JISC Techdis Toolbar, following the instructions from the website, but, although I installed Greasemonkey for IE, the JISC toolbar will not install; it keeps asking for the GMIE to be installed, goes through that installation process, attempts to install the JISC toolbar but I get an error message (see attached). I am thinking that the process is a bit complicated and people who are not computer savy will not be able to complete the task <img style="MARGIN: 0px 0.2ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle" src="cid:33D@goomoji.gmail" goomoji="33D"> Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I am not sure what I am doing or not doing. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">If you really want to add something that is free, but still allows users to make use of their own technologies, try something like the JISC TechDis toolbar on our LexDis site <a href="http://www.lexdis.or.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.lexdis.or.uk</a> It works with most browsers, has the odd glitch and is not that keen on Flash everywhere. It has a Scottish voice but that was the only free one we could find! May be worth reading the instructions at <a href="http://access.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ToolBar/functions" target="_blank">http://access.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ToolBar/functions</a> If you like it you can then embed it in your own web pages <a href="http://access.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ToolBar/versions" target="_blank">http://access.ecs.soton.ac.uk/ToolBar/versions</a> (code at the bottom of the page) But if you want your own logo on it and a few other things, it is open source or we could make you a bespoke toolbar with a little help from a source of funding for the time taken! </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">We are planning to make a framework that will allow for this sort of thing and if anyone knows of any other freely available TTS voices we could achieve this more easily! </span></p>
