Jim,Later in the thread, you'll see I corrected the subject line. All I care about is that other JAWS users understand that Dectalk Express still functions with JAWS. Dectalk Express addresses all the concerns FS is trying to handle with the new combination of Eloquence and SAPI 5 voices but can't do in one. Dectalk Express is as or more responsive than Eloquence, and the voice quality is pleasing and readily understood even by sighted people unused to synthesized speech. As an external device, it also avoids the sound card problems that people periodically report.

Pardon me but I said nothing what so ever about the dectalk express I said some thing about the dectalk pc. The subject for the message in question reads dectalk pc. So in this message you clearly are not talking about a dectalk express. Unless the subject was in error. The dectalk pc and thedectalk express are not and never have been the same thing not now not ever.I post below an excerpt of what I said on this matter. A misimpression I think not.Hi the dectalk pc is not a supported device under windows 2k or xp. Supportfor this device dyed with windows 98. she is not going to be able to get this device working under windows xp or 2k. Thanks hth Also there is nothing wrong with how fs goes about setting this device up.You click on add remove there you can add a device or remove a device I seeno problem with this what so ever.

I need to correct the impression your messages on this subject have been leaving. JAWS 8 works fine with Dectalk Express. Barbara's instructions onhow to coordinate the two worked perfectly. The problem is that FS's method isn't intuitive. You need to click on the remove/change Eloquence button in the syntheisizer dialog to reach the other synthesizer options. After that,it's plain sailing. I use Windows XP. Adrian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Grimsby JR." <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx>Hi the dectalk pc is not a supported device under windows 2k or xp.
