Thanks,  Gary, for mentioning you are using Access 32.

Glad to hear that F S still supports i Access 32.

Not referring to you or to me, but
a friend lost most of his hearing in 6 months and fortunately he had Access 32 which is all he can hear. Huge issue for the future aging blind population that we have responsive speechaccesswith inflection that older people can use.

Wewill be there some day ...some  sooner than others.
Again, thanks, Gary.

Subject: Bugs Reported In Beta 1 Not Fixed In Beta 2


The 2 bugs I reported in Beta 1 don't seem to be fixed in Beta 2. I still can't use the Individual Voice Adjustment dialog to set punctuation for the individual voices. I still have to use the Global Voice Adjustment dialog if I want to change from the default punctuation level.

The JAWS Dictionary still doesn't list all of the speech synthesizers that JAWS supports. The result is that if I use one of the unlisted synthesizers, such as DECtalk Access32, the exceptions I entered are not spoken. This is true even when I leave the selection on All Synthesizers.

Very disappointing! I like the addition of the Tandem feature, but I do wish they would fix the features they broke. I read through the list of fixes, and it seemed rather small.
