The reason that I suggest this is because the Windows version Chess program Chenard has .wav file available for it, and I tried them 1 time, and I really didn't care for the voice, and it was probably the author of the program's voice. Actually, I'd rather not listen to my own voice either, but it would be posible for everyone to record their own sounds, if they just knew what to say in what file, and maybe where to put the files, maybe c:\bringer\wav Pete Pete
