How are you all using Real Speak already? Jaws 8 has not been released yet. Is there anyway to get real speak now? Thank you, Angie -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gary King Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 12:57 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: reply from FS re problems with RealSpeak John, If FS won't fix the problem with the RealSpeak synthesizer, and you wish to use this synthesizer, you will just have to put all of those problem words into the Dictionary Manager in such a way that the abbreviation expansion is defeated. DECtalk Access32 says Sunday every time it receives the word sun. I replaced s u n with s o n in the dictionary manager, and it doesn't do that any more.
