When using one of the SAPI 5 synthesizers instead of eloquence to read what
is on the screen, I found that JAWS responses were slower than with
eloquence.

I also found that the speech became jerky in the way the voice spoke what
was on the screen.

Obviously, there are those who will say that the SAPI 5 synthesizer they
chose is the greatest think since sliced bread.

Well, as two old expressions say, "what ever works for you" or "what ever
makes your boat float".

Sincerely:

Dave Durber
