Can someone figure out a way to make my Pearl read my emails to me aloud???

Speech RECOGNITION and speech RECITAL are VERY different things. It is much easier for a computer to recognize speech, because it is only sound patterns. Being able to read text legibally is much harder for a computer to do. Just becaue it can understand it ... sure as heck doesnt mean it can speak it.
You will have to purchase the software unless something free comes along.
