You could also use a second sound card.

So, perhaps one option you have is to use an external synthesizor, such as the DoubleTalk or DecTalk Express. I hope this helps.

My daughter uses sticky keys, as well as Jaws 7.1. Sticky keys is a Microsoft accessibility feature, especially for people who can only use one hand. Here's an example of how it works: Normally, to type a capital letter, you hold down the shift key while you hit the letter you want capitalized. If sticky keys is turned on, you can hit the shift key with one stroke, and then separately hit the key you want capitalized. The shift key "sticks". It also beeps, so that you know you have hit a sticky key. The problem we are having with my daughter's new laptop, is that when she turns up the volume loud enough to hear Jaws, the beep from sticky keys is way too loud. She can't even use the laptop with headphones because the beep really hurts the ears. We can't seem to find a way to turn up Jaws, without turning up the beep of sticky keys. Any ideas? Am I correct that Jaws does not have its own volume control? Thanks, Valerie Crockett
