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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.W.
