All, Have had a couple of enquiries about the status of the SSIP speech server for Windows. Got tied up with some first quarter java programming at work but here is the status. 1. Am running the server full time on my machine now. 2. The option to set the speech API has been enhanced to take AUTO as an option along with the other settings such as Jaws, WINEYES, SA, or SAPI. If the API option is set to AUTO, SSIP will automatically attempt to detect which screen reader is both installed and currently running and will set the API to that interface. Using this option, I have been able to run my java screen reader with jaws, Window-Eyes, and System Access. 3. The server has gone through some minor updates to more closely follow the SSIP command structure specification. I am still finalizing the sample clients but my coding demands have let up a little here at work for the time being; so, maybe I can wrap this up and get it out to everyone shortly. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
