hi tink
thanks, couldn't remember what the word was but I just wanted to tell others
that it effects talx too.
I didnt' know about it until a so called friend tested it out on me.
Elaine,
The problem lies in the Eloquence Text To Speech engine, rather than with the screen reader itself.
For the curious, the word is C A E S U R E, if memory serves.
Tink.

Subject: [talks-uk] warning about pranksters
hello folks,
I hope this isn't classed as in appropriate content, but there is a warning I'd like to mention.
I'm not sure if list members are aware, that there is a certain word when spoken with eloquence, actually stops speech. I'm not going to type this word here as it will shut down jaws if your using eloquence.
but, my reasons for mentioning it here is, I've recently discovered that this word when sent in a text message to a phone with talkx on it, will shut down talx also. the only way to regain speech is to remove the battery.
I hope this message hasn't offended anyone but, I just felt that people should be made aware.
as there are certain pranksters out there who think it's funny to shut down speech.
my apologies to those who I have offended here.
thanks
Elaine
