Hi Kevin.

I must admit I'm rather baffled by this. I thought that Eloquence was =
the
default TTS with Window-eyes, albeit a non-proprietary version unlike =
JFW.
What speech-engine were you using? The only alternative I can think of =
that
ships with WE is Dec Access32, which incidentally I use all the time
*Smile*.

Of course, there could have been some changes in what's shipped with WE =
in
recent versions which I'm not aware of. I'd be interested to know!

Cheers,

Mark

hi peter, having used (in the not too distant past) a full version of =

Hi,

Well, as I said, I've gone over, well, am in the process of, to window =
eyes.
My impressions are that everything just seems to work with this new =
computer
without much less effort than on other machines. I tried it with Jaws =
and
got the old issue of the ctrl key locking on and nothing I could do =
about
it, which I have been nagging Sight and Sound and FS about for over a =
year.
There is a Jaws keyboard layout if you really want it, but I would learn =
the
new keystrokes and change the ones you don't like. I think the speech is
sometimes slightly weird having been used to Jaws but it never seems to
crash and it is definitely quicker than Jaws. It'll probably even speed =
your
existing machine up.

Cheers
Dave
