No, the different voices in HPR are unrelated to ACSS. I believe the standards settings are like this: It reads body text in a male voice and link text in a female voice. There are certain *ding* sounds before headings and it can read in multiple languages (different pronunciations of the same spelling based on default language or lang attribute value)... I'm sure most of these can be modified for user preference, but as of version 3.0, it does not read ACSS. There are also similar discussions currently on the WAI interest group list. (w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org) There is a W3C User Agent group (w3c-wai-ua-request@w3.org) and an IBM-HPR email list if anyone is interested in learning more about this. To subscribe to the IBM HPR list, send an email to: requests@talklist.com with UNSUBSCRIBE IBM-HPR in the BODY of the message. Later, James
