[X4U] Text to speech question

[Mark Des Cotes]

Hi everyone,

A quick question about text to speech. I was showing my daughter how  
she can use text to speech to have the computer read her essay back  
to her. I highlighted the text in Word and started it reading. She  
was impressed but since she was done for the night and didn't want to  
listen to it then, she just saved her document and quit Word. The  
computer kept reading her essay even though Word was closed. I'm  
wondering why this is so? Is there an audio file (or some other type  
of file) created somewhere that is taking up memory? How does it keep  
reading the text once you quit the application?
