My first word processor utilized such a buffer, and it played havoc with
my first screen reader. After several months of crashes, a data analyst
friend of mine suggested I disable the buffer by slightly altering the
old DW3 batch file-worked like a charm, and DisplayWrite's performance
never suffered. In fact, subsequent versions eliminated the buffer.

At one time screen readers loaded the text to be read into a buffer so
the entire conputer would not be waiting on the slow process of actually
speaking the information.
I suppose JAWS may still load to the buffer and the computer is waiting
for someone to tell the computer that it may proceed with other things
thus nothing you do will stop the blamed chattering.
In days of yore the computer would send information to an output device
and then wait for acknowledgement that the output device did actually
receive the data. Nothing was going to happen until the computer got
that message.

A buffer is merely a storage area. I frankly don't know what practical
use it serves here, but that the short answer. In the early days of CD
burning, it was vital to insure the flow of information was never
interrupted, unless you wanted a pretty new drink coaster, because
that's all you'd have if a burn was interrupted. Now there's a
practical use for a buffer.

just a reminder, as mentioned I do not have anytechnical knowledge,
but a vi friend once tried to explain about the buffer not emptying
being a cause,and my desperate key strokes trying to stop jaws adding
matterinto the funnel,wwhich could not empty,so if this means anything
to you do try to explain to me, the implication is of course to let Jaws
just go on speaking until it runs out of steam! Of course if it is
determined to read the whole computer contents ,you are in for a long
haul Dorothy

Thanks for the heads up, guys. I've flirted with the idea of
bringing 11 in on this office machine, precisely because of Outlook's
quirky behavior (Regulars may recall I had earlier surmised swapping out
the video card cured my problem; it made it better, but it didn't cure
it.). Well, your problems sound worse than mine, so I think I'll leave
well enough alone.

Yes, I've had them with JAWS 11, XP Pro, 32-bit, usually when
using Outlook 2007. Only resolution is to kill JAWS and reload. Very
annoying. Bites me about once a week, on average.
It does seem to be more prevalent when I'm using other
applications simultaneously, such as Adobe, Excel,IE7.

Hi All,
With JAWS 11, W7 64 bit, Outlook 2007 good old JAWS
will, upon occasion, continue to talk when reading an email regardless
of attempts to shut it up.
Nothing I do seems to cause JAWS to stop until it has
exhausted the entire email. Next thing which usually happens is that
JAWS goes away and I need to fire it back up again.
Anyone else have these problems?
Cy, The Anasazi
