Roger Ebert Speaks

In early February, I commented on the toll that cancer had taken on noted film critic and columnist, Roger Ebert. It left him without the ability to speak or eat, but it could not stop his marvelous way with words as he chronicled his story.  The piece I wrote is here.

Now comes word, that Ebert is able to speak using a text to speech software that in fact uses his own voice. It’s a wonderful story with a reasonable happy ending.  It’s just the type tale that Ebert would give a “thumbs up.”
