Can Sodbeans work in concert with a standard Netbeans project now? Sorry I haven't been paying attention, I thought it was still sort of just its own environment. In other words, you still just write Hop with it, not redistributable Java. Did it progress past this stage when I wasn't looking?

Hi Stefik,

The latest version of Jaws I have is 9. No finance to get a later version. Will foolow your guidance about voices. The Sappy voice of sodbeans is installed so will try the voices already installed.

Running 32 bit.

Roger,

Off the top of my head, I think we've done most of our Sodbeans
testing with JAWS 12, and I haven't experienced the problems you are
mentioning with that version. Another thing you "could" try, depending
on your setup and your preferences, is by going to

Tools -> Text-to-speech -> Next Speech Engine

and seeing if you find a self-voicing engine tolerable for your
system. Self voicing sounds pretty bad on windows XP unless you have
another SAPI voice installed, but it's worth a try.

As for JAWS 9, If you own a later version of JAWS, is there a way of
legally getting previous versions for our team to do testing? Also,
Windows XP 32 or 64?

Hi all,

I will be working on a degree module come October using netbeans. Following
some advice given I have installed Sodbeans which is apparently netbeans
with the sappy stuff already installed. My ventures thus far have been
limited. When trying to open an existing file the dialog boxes do not seem
very accessible as the lists within them do not seem to give feedback.

I'm running Windows XP and Jaws 9.
Any ideas on how to get some feedback from the dialog boxes.

Many thanks

Roger
