Hi Nigel.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I unplugged my ZooStorm 2.1 speaker system and attached a pair of
headphones and WoindowEyes did sound a bit clearer. I also attempted to
change the synth to Elequence but for some reason, it did not take and I
ended up with no speach. Luckely, I could remember the keystroke to get
back to Dec Talk 32.
Nigel, I've been struggling with WindowEyes, on this computer, for a few
months now and was thinking of returning to JAWS. However, as I'm
thinking of moving to VISTA later this year, I'm a little concerned as
I've heard that JAWS is having difficulty with VISTA.
So I'm not sure if I should take the plunge back, or persist a little
longer with WindowEyes.
Best wishes.
Andy

Andy,
I have not used WE but I am sure there are many things you can try before
giving up . For a start try changing the default synth, I believe WE has
several options. If you are currently using a Dec talk synth then change
it as I find it tricky to understand too. Don't like your speakers? Use
some headphones or plug some external ones in.
I know changing screen readers must be a big step and takes a lot of
work. Give it a fair go before you decide.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Thinking of changing back to JAWS
Hi all.
I recently moved from Windows XP Home and JAWS, to Windows XP Media
Center with WindowEyes 6.
I'm finding the move over very difficult as WindowEyes is not speaking
clearly enough through my speakers. The New computer is a ZooStorm and
the soundcard and perhaps speakers are rubbish. This has caused
terrible problems understanding what Wiindoweyes is saying,
subsequently, I'm thinking of moving back.
I telephoned S and S and was advised that an upgrade from JAWS 6 to JAWS
Professional 8, For Media Center, is about £460.
WindowEyes cost me about £540.
I'm seriously thinking of moving back but wondered about the future.
My new computer is an XP Media Center machine. I bought it because I'm
hoping to upgrade to VISTA later this year, or perhaps early next year.
My question. Will JAWS Pro deal with VISTA successfully, or should I
stick with WindowEyes and get used to the poor voice?
Best wishes.
