<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> I have just setup a website
(www.readwikipedia.net; currently only</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> in german and in a very early stage of
development) which mentions a</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> phone number. When you dial that number
(reachable from the normal</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> PSTN) you can enter a word which is then looked
up in the german</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> wikipedia. The text is then converted to audio
(TTS) and read out to</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> you. The way in which the word must be entered is
explained on the</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> website. You can also enter german umlauts and ß.
I have also</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> modified Asterisk in a way that these umlauts and
ß can be played</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span

line can be used</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt'>> only by one person at the same time. Therefore
it´s likely to happen</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span
