I met Ted by phone in 1988. I had bought a pc along with JFD, but I
did not have a synthesizer that worked with JFD. I had been using
an inexpensive synthesizer called something like the Echo PC+. I
called Henter/Joyce (HJ) support and told them my problem. Ted took
up the case himself and developed a driver that enable the Echo pc+ to be
used with JFD. I found Ted to be very gracious and willing to go
the extra mile to help. I really appreciate all he did to
help resolve my problem, for I was in graduate school at the time, and I
used JFD and Word Perfect 5 to research and write my docteral
dissertation.

Do you remember the TotalTalk PC? I think Ted Henter worked with Dean Blazie at Blazie Engineering to develop screen reading software for it. Anyways, I used that in 1985, and when JAWS came out it really was much like the software for the TotalTalk originally, so the learning curve wasn't so steep. Then we went to Windows and I had to use WindowBridge for a while - no choice - but was very glad when JAWS for Windows came out.

Subject: I met Ted Henter in 1990
Dear Friends,
Well, I met Ted Henter in November 1990 when he came to a Blind Computer
Users Group I had founded here in Miami.
He basically came to say he was developing a Screen Reading software.
I must tell you, I did not take him very serious, nor did I think many of
the nearly 30 attendents did
I actually chuckled to myself of course, when he took the speakers stand and
started his presentation, "How does this guy think he can go up against
Digital Equipment Company, DEC Talk, the IBM Screen Reader, Giant
corporations that could throw as much money into their Screen reading
software programs as they cared to".
I had not a clue that he was on to something fantastic!
I remember him as a very kind soft spoken, cordial gentleman.
I am so glad it worked out for him, and us!
With Best Regards,
Alan

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me
I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:37
For the pious mind realizes that the punishment of the impious and wicked
and the reward of life eternal for the righteous equally pertain to God?s
glory. Besides, this mind restrains itself from sinning, not out of dread
of punishment alone; but, because it loves and reveres God as Father, it
worships and adores him as Lord. Even if there were no hell, it would
still shudder at offending him alone. Here indeed is pure and real
religion: faith so joined with an earnest fear of God that this fear also
embraces willing reverence, and carries with it such legitimate worship
as is prescribed in the law. And we ought to note this fact even
more diligently: all men have a vague general veneration for God, but
very few really reverence him; and wherever there is great ostentation in
ceremonies, sincerity of heart is rare indeed. (John Calvin)
