All I've just updated our webpage, the latest version is in SVN an at http://latex-access.sourceforge.net The old version was very outdated, I've hopefully mentioned all of the significant new features. If anyone has any comments or suggestions then please let me know, or update the version in SVN. I have some free time at the moment so plan to try and tidy things up with the project as much as I can. I would really like to get the documentation up-to-date. I don't think there are any significant features I should be implementing but I will add the ability to have multiple speech translators.
