Hi,
I'm not sure how many JAWS versions this goes back, but the dictionary manager
was really beefed up to include all kinds of neet stuff like playing sounds,
speaking strings with different voices, and so on. You could start working on a
personal dictionary file for EdSharp that would do this kind of thing for you.
I was just reading the dictionary manager help for the new JAWS 11. It says you
can use different synthesizers and voices to speak things, play sounds for
strings, speak and play sounds for strings at the same time, and more. Just go
into the dictionary manager and press F1 to get into the documentation and
check it out. I think you'll be able to solve your issue this way.
Jim

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,
