Hello Jay,

If you get a chance, would you please explain how to set up your SSIP so it can 
pass speech to a remote computer.

That is so f$$$ing cool!

Thanks for writing your SSIP.

TJ

  Marlon,
  I think I see what you are getting at. The easiest answer is that once the 
COM interface to SSIP is available, there shouldn't be any reason you couldn't 
call it from within a Jaws script; although, this is sort of the reverse of its 
normal usage. The COM interface is to the client object, not directly to the 
server; so, you could still use the COM calls to send speech output to a remote 
machine.

  Hello Jay,
  I don't know if it is possible, or if it is legal, or if it is
  documented, but is it possible to do a synthezizer driver for jaws
  which uses SSIP to output sound? This way one can set the jfw
  synthezizer to send sounds to a SSIP server running remotely and one
  can have output speech from a remote machine this way ..
