Honorable Mention
Speak-eZ-Mail

The Speak-eZ-Mail system is a completely embedded, low-cost, e-mail-to-speech converting design. This unique design uses a Z8 Encore!® microcontroller as the system controller to accomplish the tasks of reading, filtering, storing, and converting e-mail to speech. The unique thing about this speech converter is that it doesn’t require a PC to function. The user simply plugs a phone line directly into the Speak-eZ-Mail system and then presses a button to look for a new e-mail message. If a new e-mail message has been received, the system converts the e-mail to speech and announces it to the user.
