Hi folks,

Why on earth does this word close down the speech engine. The only word similar to that is caesura, as in poetry.

Cheers,

Mike

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.

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
