I now tried the W E D HE D H E S D A Y word in Kurzweil 1000 using its
eloquence speech, and it crashed it. We can therefore confirm that it is an
Eloquence bug. Just hope - if you're using Eloquence as your reading
voice - that k1000 doesn't misrecognise Wednesday as ... well ... ya know?
How many more bugs like this one lie undiscovered, waiting for someone to
trawl through the alphabet of possibilities ....

Hi Luise,
i tested the bug word on Eloquence, in a would-be reply message. . It
crashed Eloquence and JAWS, but did not crash Outlook Express or my
computer. (When i closed Outlook Express, I got the two dings, as when
asking a question do you want to save?) (I was then able to open Kurzweil
1000 and have it speak through its own version of Eloquence.) The bug word
did not crash either SAPI5 (Daniel, etc.) nor the Apollo 2 external speech
synthesiser.

Hi all,
I just thought I'd bring to your attention that a new word has been found
that crashes eloquence. You may have heard of or come across the previous
ones, for the sake of keeping everyone on their computers I'll spell them
letter by letter, C A E S U R E, then H ' v e, now, there's a misspelling of
Wednesday, which is spelled, W E D H E S D A Y. Weirdly enough though, this
particular word doesn't just crash eloquence itself, it has a tendancy to
freeze the whole machine until it's been rebooted.
I just thought I'd let anyone know in case they came across it, and to
advise people to change it in their dictionaries if they can.
Regards,
Louise.
