Talking Search Engine

The name of the search engine is Speegle. Currently, there are 3 voices--2 male, 1 female. It works like any other keyword search. You type in your query, wait a moment and a screen pops up with your results. Except along with the visual results you get a vocalized reader. The reader simply reads the citation, sans URL. To make a selection you can click on the hyperlink on screen or type the number given to each link. Navigation within the engine can also be done via use of the keyboard. Has potential for visually impaired. It comes from the UK and occasionally foreign words are mangled.
