Peter, what you're overlooking is that none of the human based SAPI voices 
support pitch, so they're only any good for say all. You've only got to look at 
some of the posts that come onto this list to see what can happen when people 
don't have pitch change to alert them of capitals.
                    John.

  I don't like the default voice either but you can use any sapi4 or sapi5 
voices you happen to have on your PC.

    For a start I cannot stand the voice used so unless I can overcome that 
hurdle I would never be able to use NVDA.  I think it is probably an excellent 
choice for those who are not in a position to purchase very over priced screen 
readers.  I will admit to having pricey screen readers but only because I had 
them provided as a student.

      The claim that NVDA is the best screen reader is certainly a bold one!

            Hello all, lately I've been having problems playing programs on the 
BBC site. Jaws now doesn't recognise the pose button, volume button, time line 
button etc. All Jaws sees is the play button but after I press it Jaws doesn't 
see any of the flash player buttons including the play/pose button. Is it just 
me? The issue happens with Jaws 12 and 13 too. Anyone is having the same issue? 
Thanks.

            Amro
