I took that test via the AFB website. The speech synthesizer being evaluated doesn't hold a candle to JAWS. But it's a study well worth participating in.

The team will be running a web-based experiment to evaluate the intelligibility of synthesized speech. They are targeting participants who have been blind from 6 years of age and under. Can you please pass this on to everyone in your networks that are potential candidates to participate in this study? This is a great opportunity to partner with corporate industry and help them build products for our target market.
