Notice: We Are Dropping the Text-to-Speech Option

As blog readers will know, back in August 2022, we began adding an option to hear the text of the blog as an experiment. 

The time involved in adding that option to each post and problems that have occurred with using archive.org to store the sound files have led yours truly to decide to discontinue the option as of today. We will, of course, continue using YouTube and archive.org links with sound for such purposes as recordings of Regents meetings.

Note that your computer probably has a text-to-sound option built into its operating system or available as a download. You can always cut an paste the text of the blog into that option and hear the text.
