interesting idea, I know it could be done in jaws, and probably window eyes, but the others I have no clue if it could be done, Jamal, if you decide to add this, you might want to give it the option to use one of a set of very short sounds for those readers that don't have multi voice output abilities, smile.

Hi all,I was thinking that it might be good to have an option to define certain character sequences to be spoken differently. For example, to be able to define == (two equals signs) to be spoken as "equals", but in the tutor message voice instead of the regular voice. This would help a lot when looking through code to see if you forgot an equals sign in an if statement or for loop; if you do not hear "equals" in the tutor voice, then there is only one equals sign there. Similar to this would be ++ (plus plus), -- (dash dash), and any other sequence you want to define. What do people think?Have a great day, Alex New email address: mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
