Hello Chris
I also tried this program for about half a day or so but my experiences were
also negative - it was irresponsive most times and I couldn't work like that
so I reverted to my normal screenreader.
It is a nice idea to have the free software but I think it needs to work
properly and not mute itself whenever it felt like it.
I couldn't grasp it as it is at the moment but I think it can be improved
and made more responsive - then I'll have another look.
Cheers

Dear all,
I'm <mailto:I@m> writing to report on my views of Thunder. I'm trying it
again, and it is quite good, as stated previously. However, I am not
impressed, as it definitely does not read out conversations in
MSN/Windows/Windows Live Messenger. Also, when I want to compose e-mail in
Outlook Express, Thunder does not announce what characters I'm deleting
using the backspace key, although it does when pressing the forward delete
key. Thirdly, Thunder hardly works in either Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird,
which is quite annoying, since that's my favourite e-mail client to date as
it's more secure. Finally, I'm using the Eloquence TTS Engine, and, if you
press the right square bracket key, it says something like right score
bracket, which is strange. Finally (and I mean finally), Thunder says quote
when you press the apostrophe character, which is a bit confusing.
I hope you find these comments useful, and I look forward to hear from you.
