Hi David, I can not disagree with you more on using a concatinated speech engine. I absolutely detest them, not for their quality ... Which can sometimes be quite enjoyable to listen to, but for their performance, speed of response, choppiness, use of system resources, insane size both on and off disk, and etc ... However, since we don't have to make that decision at all, since that will be up to the user ... That's fine. Basically, the user can select ... Just like with jaws, supernova, and windoweyes right now.

Hi list members, I'd like to know what can we really do to make sure this project is taken to the point where we think from an accessibility stand point from the ground up. Why not think of all the things that we are able to do with scripting languages as well as those things that they say can't be accomplished at this time and put them into a list? One thing that i don't want is a machanical sounding screen reading program like what is currently on windows xp or what i've recently heard when listening to a mac laptop.. I'd like something that incorporates the voices from the directory phone voices that are heard. I don't think that these voices are neither synthesized nor do they sound robotic in nature. If I'm not mistaken they are actually human voices that are put on recordings. I even remember hearing these types of voices when calling computer stores or computer companies and waiting for tech support. What do you all think of that.
