The problem is that jaws has some issue with running with SAPI5 synthesizers. NOthing you can but have jaws not run as a service, which means you'd not have jaws at the log-in prompt. hth ----- Original Message ----- From: Shannon Reece To: blindcasting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 8:22 AM Subject: Neospeach Neospeach crashes my system every single time, which is sad because I really like the sound of the voice. I am using JFW7 on a Win XP home machine, supposedly have all the SAPI stuff installed right and yet every time I fire up neospeech, bang! The machine needs to be rebooted. It's a complete mystery to me. Shannon From: Gary Wood How about Neospeach? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
