Hey folks,
Our screen readers did not pick up the accent--Wonder was being
interviewed by a Brit! If Stevie Wonder has been over there for a while
he could have picked up a slight accent.
Enjoyed the interview, but wow, Lynn, he sings much better then he
talks!!

Hi, Sharon.
I don't know why, but I do know that my JAWS/Eloquence combination has done the same thing. Weird. I, too, need enlightenment. ,smile>

- May be a stupid question but I noticed when I got to the bbc page, my eloquence voice began speaking with a British accent. It scared the you know what out of me. I use window-eyes, by the way. How did that happen? Really weird to me. How did eloquence know to go into another accent? Do any of you know? Please enlighten me. Thanks.

- Hi, Folks.
- Well, accessibility is finally getting the press it deserves in the form of everyone interviewing Mr. Wonder about products that are blind -friendly. the wonderful thing to me is that the buttons of the player are actually labeled. Now, why can't every one do this? Ah...laziness comes to mind.
- Stevie definitely performs with greater facility than he speaks, but he's getting the word out and that's the important thing.

- Press the Letter H until you hear Stevie Wonder Interview.
- Press the Down Arrow until you hear Play/Pause button and press the spacebar.
