Hi it is jaws 4.02 that runs on xp not 4.01 
Now the client was not fed miss information here.
In earlyer version of jaws that still supported the dectalk pc if you
had the drivers for dos loaded you could use the express as a dectalk
pc.
I saspect this is what was being done in this case.
Now to avoid problems the lowist version is 4.51 because the video
channing support worked as it should.

If he has the operating system of Windows XP Home or Professional he
will need to at least upgrade to version 4.01 (I believe), check the
Freedom Scientific website at: http://www.freedomscientific.com/

Though, I would advise your client/friend to upgrade to the latest
version which is 7.0. Again, you'll have to check pricing with Freedom
Scientific for upgrading and suggest that he also purchase a software
maintenance agreement (SMA).

As far as I know, JAWS has always supported the DEC-Talk speech
synthesizer and I don't know where or what kind of information someone
has been feeding him.

Cheers!

Hi All:

Thanks for all the help with XP Drivers for Dectalk.   My next question
is, what is the lowest version of JFW that will support Dectalk on XP?
Our client is using JFW 3.5 and seems reluctant to upgrade; I'm thinking
he may have to upgrade if he wants to use JFW on XP let alone Dectalk.

Thanks,
