i'll have to check that out.
the audio captias are difficult to understand, but not impossible. If your
used to listening to synthesized speech you can usually pick it
out...although, sometimes I have to go back and start over and listen a few
times before i get one that i can comprehend as well.
I do like the type that download a file, that way you can listen to it over
and over until you get it.
this webvisum sounds great though.
