Hey I was just wondering if using voice hardware synth gives Jaws or other
screen readers better speed?

yes, JAWS for DOS does require a hardware synth, but there is the DoubleTalk,
TripleTalk USB and the DECTalk USB synths. But like Doug pointed out, I'd like
to see if anyone got this running beyond Windows XP, especially 7 Pro 64 bit.

I believe JAWS for DOS requires a hardware synthesizer, runs in a
16-bit address space which would completely stop it from running on a
modern 64-bit version of Windows, and runs as a
Terminate-Stay-Resident (TSR) program that might not load on any
Windows version later than Windows XP. If anyone proves any of these
beliefs wrong, I'll be rather fascinated. :-)

FS does have a download for jaws for dos.
If I remember correctly, the file name is

I think nfbnet.org has some of those old programs.

I don't know. I wasn't blind when Jaws for DOS was used. :-)
Can be found Jaws for DOS somewhere so we can try it?
