Troy,
One more thought you might want to consider.
You can install a second sound card and have JAWS can be assigned to it.
It does work and I would have done it that way but I got an unbelievable
deal on the Triple Talk.
The sound card approach would probably cost you around $100 or so if you use
the Soundblaster USB card.

Hello Cy,
The fact that it has a separate volume from anything else is the exact
reason that I want one.  In my job as a medical transcriptionist sometimes
the doctors' dictations all but drowns out Jaws and on other dictations Jaws
nearly drowns out the doctors smile.

And I won't have problems with a dsl conflict since I have Road Runner as my
ISP smile.
Troy

Actually Troy,
I am pretty happy with it.
It does, to some extent, react when you change JAWS voices.
It also allows me to adjust the volume of JAWS indepently of whatever I
might be listening to on the computer.
It is a whole lot better than the Double Talk which I used to use until it
just rolled over and passed out one day. (LOL)
One thing though, when we hooked it up we had to download the latest drivers
from the web - and - be very careful which USB port you plug it into.
It seems that there could be a conflict if the Triple Talk (a slow device)
is in the same place as the DSL (a very fast device) is placed.
Other than this I have had no problems.

Thanks Cy.  I will be getting a triple talk in the next week or 2 so that's
good to know.

Hi Troy,
I have the Triple Talk external USB synthesizer, JAWS 7.0 and Windows XP
Home.
Works quite good - except - if you happen to turn the Triple Talk off and
then back on JAWS does not seem to be able to find it again.
As I recall, the Triple Talk needs to be turned on *before* Windows boots up
or JAWS can not find the Triple Talk.
I don't care that XP is supposed to be able to recognize the USB items, it
sure does not find the Triple Talk.
Otherwise, it is a very good unit.

Troy,
I use the triple talk with 7.1 and have been using it since JFW 4.5 and it
works great.

Hi All,
I'm thinking about purchasing a triple talk external speech synthesizer but
before I do I just want to be sure that I'll be able to configure Jaws to
work with it.  I'm using Jaws 7.0.

Thanks.
Troy
