At one time screen readers loaded the text to be read into a buffer so the
entire conputer would not be waiting on the slow process of actually
speaking the information.
I suppose JAWS may still load to the buffer and the computer is waiting for
someone to tell the computer that it may proceed with other things thus
nothing you do will stop the blamed chattering.
In days of yore the computer would send information to an output device and
then wait for acknowledgement that the output device did actually receive
the data. Nothing was going to happen until the computer got that message.

A buffer is merely a storage area. I frankly don't know what practical use
it serves here, but that the short answer. In the early days of CD burning,
it was vital to insure the flow of information was never interrupted, unless
you wanted a pretty new drink coaster, because that's all you'd have if a
burn was interrupted. Now there's a practical use for a buffer.

just a reminder, as mentioned I do not have anytechnical knowledge, but a
vi friend once tried to explain about the buffer not emptying being a
cause,and my desperate key strokes trying to stop jaws adding matterinto
the funnel,wwhich could not empty,so if this means anything to you do try to
explain to me, the implication is of course to let Jaws just go on speaking
until it runs out of steam! Of course if it is determined to read the whole
computer contents ,you are in for a long haul Dorothy

Thanks for the heads up, guys. I've flirted with the idea of bringing 11 in
on this office machine, precisely because of Outlook's quirky behavior
(Regulars may recall I had earlier surmised swapping out the video card
cured my problem; it made it better, but it didn't cure it.). Well, your
problems sound worse than mine, so I think I'll leave well enough alone.

Yes, I've had them with JAWS 11, XP Pro, 32-bit, usually when using Outlook
2007. Only resolution is to kill JAWS and reload. Very annoying. Bites me
about once a week, on average.
It does seem to be more prevalent when I'm using other applications
simultaneously, such as Adobe, Excel,IE7.

Hi All,
With JAWS 11, W7 64 bit, Outlook 2007 good old JAWS will, upon occasion,
continue to talk when reading an email regardless of attempts to shut it up.
Nothing I do seems to cause JAWS to stop until it has exhausted the entire
email. Next thing which usually happens is that JAWS goes away and I need to
fire it back up again.
Anyone else have these problems?
