yes, to a point. The bottleneck is the speech synthesizer. 2g of ram will give you good results too with a 64mb card that is not so fast. ----- Original Message ----- From: "trouble" <trouble1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 12:01 PM Subject: Re: JAWS and "latest & greatest" video cards The faster the graphics get processed the less buffer time is on jaws. The computer that the test was on had on board video of 32mb and the card was on board 64mb ram. More speech with the card because of its ram then did with on board. Just to prove my theory I used another card with the same ram as the on board and the difference was back to crap speech output. Its not text jaws is picking up on but the graphic resolutions handles. You can make jaws speak the text only if you can use functions in scripts like say line, word or string. But when it has the handle of that graphic window the speech is almost straight out put. The msn messenger 6 would be able to use this except the window is black on black therefor no text to find in the graphic. At 08:09 AM 1/13/04 -0500, you wrote: >trouble is incorrect.
