Steve, this happens because the text is being written to the screen 1 letter at a time rather than having the full message written as 1 chunk of data. There is a setting in the configuration manager which may help. This setting specifies the number of milliseconds JAWS waits before speaking text newly written to the screen. The default value is 50. The setting is called "text out delay" and is found under advanced options in the set options menu. You could try entering a larger number to slow down jaws responsiveness to new screen writes which may eliminate the problem. You will likely have to try a number of different values to find one that will do the trick.

By setting screen echo to "all" Jaws will read the incoming text, but reads in an odd fashion. If the incoming text is "Hello", Jaws will say: h h e h e l h e l l h e l l o hello. Any way to have this stuff read normally. Am running win xp and the last version of Jaws prior to the v 6 release. Thanks much.
