This is a sample text file written specifically for demonstrating
Smooth Talker's capability to read an ascii file from disk and speak it.
   When writing text for use with Smooth Talker, you should keep the following
rules in mind.

1. Smooth Talker pronounces the name of capital letters when more than one
 occurs in sequence, or when a capital stands alone. For example, the letter
 'I' or the abreviation 'OK'. If you want smooth talker to spell out a word,
 then just put it in capital letters like this, 'CAT'.  The exception is when
 the entire sentence is in capitals, as in: 'SEE SPOT RUN, SEE SPOT PLAY'.
 Since Smooth Talker always sounds out small letters, most of your text will
 have to be written this way.

2. Spaces cause a pause.  The spaces between words allow Smooth Talker to speak
 with out running words together.  Multiple spaces  cause   Smooth Talker    to
     wait      longer       and        longer.

3. Smooth Talker does not always pronounce words correctly, even when they are
 spelled right.  This file was not   edited,    but   <<~EHdEHtEHd>>.   The
 word in brackets is the phonetic spelling of editing.

4. Abbreviations are pronounced correctly with Smooth Talker, for example:

   Dr.Jones.
   Ms.Smith.
