i was joking a little I use eloquence for ease of use but I did use daniel for
a while in the ocr and as I said one had no control I do not know the old
speech engine you mention decktalk, it was xp when I started,and I thought I
would never get used to artificial speech, I think the other voices are bits
of human speech, I cannot find the right words perhaps digitised human speech,
daniel was a real thug however dorothy

I just used the burn example to show one possible use. As I said, it's
nothing but a storage area, any kind of storage area. Yes, I'm familiar with
Brother Daniel. I play with the Real Speak voices from time to time as
alternates, but rely primarily on Eloquence for speed and accuracy. Artificial
though they are, I can really fly with the stock voices, whereas I have to pay
much closer attention in order to comprehend Real Speak.
The best artificial speech I ever heard was the old hardware-based DecTalk. I
think NOAA, New York Weather radio, and other automated services still use
something like it, although it may be software based now.

well ted the person who told me was very clever he made his own computers,it
was not burning to cd he meant at all,or the buffet you mention is that G and
Tonic?,I was at the time not able to stop jaws reading at all,and I think the
buffer was perhaps to do with available ram? I am really grasping at straws.
However an example if moderator permits, in my ocr I had at that time a voice
called daniel 22 hertz,now daniel did the same trick,wouldnot be paused just
went on like a steam roller,so the vi friend tried to explain it like I have,
not letting something out at one end before adding to it,Oh sounds not very
nice but you know what I mean.Jaws does that ,and you have to let it or force
off dorothy

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?
Cy, The Anasazi
