What speech synth are you using when typing? RealSpeak? If so, well that's a bit slower than Eloquence, not as responsive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Sweeney" <tonysweeney1@xxxxxxxxxx> To: "vics" <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 12:09 AM Subject: [vicsireland] Jaws 8 Echo Hi All, I am using XP Pro with jaws 8. Now, Jaws is not always echoing the letters I write although I have it set to speak, letters & words! I did an uninstall & a jaws update but that didn't sort out the problem! I have Mcafee security running but I have disabled the automatic scan option! I have Office 2007 installed also but I don't think that that is the problem as I have the same nuisance without not going in to that! Could anyone who has possibly or similar please advise? Any assist appreciated as always. Tony.
