I believe that you can get Kurzweil 1000 to speak in Greek, when
you install Ver 6.0 you have to add all the western european voices
and you have to install the other voice engines, so alas you can't
get the wonderful Jennifer (Voice) reading to you in greek.
I have just set up our Kurzweil 1000 for Russian, It sounds Ok but
then I cant speak any Russian so it could be gibberish for all I
know.
Hope this helps
