thank you, Jim. But in the one situation you mention, where Jaws has
crashed, how can a person find this other synth to install it or do whatever
you're supposed to do with it, if you can't see what you're doing and have
no Jawsworking? I must not be understanding something here.
Also, in order to use it with Jaws instead of Eloquence, do you have to do
something to install it on the synthesizer list in the Jaws interface so
that it can be chosen as an alternative to Eloquence? Do people often do
this, just to have another voice instead of the Jaws voice?

Sapi is a means of talking to a software synthesizer. In a condition =
where
you might need it is well when ever you want it. 2 jaws stops talking =
but
is still running. This does not happen very often any more.=20
Sapi is bundle with ms windows xp home pro and is the same synthesizer =
used
by the screen reader included with windows.=20
So yes you could go ahead and use it now if you want. There are also a =
lot
of software based synthesizers that use the sapi 5 interface one example =
of
this is at&t natural voices. Hth=20

Jim,
I don't know what SAP stands for, and I don't know under what conditions =
you
mean I might need it. Is it a software speech synth packaged with Win =
XP,=20
meant to be used with a program like Jaws as an alternative to =
Eloquence?=20
Could I switch to it right now to read the next messages from this list? =
Or, if not, what is it and what's it actually for?
Thanks,
Daniel

I could use some instruction about this. I'm accustomed to thinking =3D
that=3D20 Eloquence simply was the synth that Jaws used out of the box. =
What
is =3D this=3D20 other synth you're talking about, how does one switch =
to it,
and why =3D would=3D20 you choose it? In an emergency where Eloquence =

Or because it's =3D a=3D20 full-featured synth whose sound you might =

that of Eloquence?
thanks,
Daniel

A particular easter egg has been discovered, probably with in the =3D3D =
=3D
last=3D3D3D couple of days which affects eloquence users in jaws and in =

book=3D3D3D where if the word caesure is read by eloquence, the speech
