When you are creating a user interface there is a constant need to zoom in to look at how graphic elements are alined. Pixie makes that very easy and I use it every day.

As I said in the post, I didn't have a whole lot of time to play around with Repeat After Me, but what I read either indicated what I posted, or I interpreted what I read incorrectly. I'll be sure to do a bit more research next time. Thanks again! Thanks for the clarification, EmptySet.

It is an absolutely stunning and comprehensive app, not some little developer utility. It was not originally created by Apple, but by Pierre-Olivier Latour as PixelShox Studio. For examples of the kind of thing you can create with it, check out the RSS screensaver in Tiger. It also has good MIDI and audio support. QuickTime can play back the resulting 'qtz' files (which are tiny). There is an audio synthesiser for Windows called Synth Maker by Outsim that is very similarly constructed. Unfortunately it's not available for OS X. I don’t think you gave sufficient credit to Quartz Composer. It is an absolutely stunning and comprehensive app, not some little developer utility.

Secondly, accuracy is NOT improved with reptetive use of the application (honestly, that statement doesn't make sense - accuracy of what?). R.A.M. is simply an app that lets you contour the prosody (pitch and duration) of speech spoken by Apple's speech engine. You can also record your own voice to see what it's prosodic contour is, so you can try to copy the same curve for the artificial speech, thus making it sound "better". Finally, RAM will automatically generate the speech information needed to make the speech synth speak this way. You can then copy that "script" to any speech-able app. First off, Repeat After Me is text-to-speech, not speech-to-text.
