Hello again Flor,
That's interesting what you said about Kurzweil. I wonder, have you tried either of the other 2 bug words using Kurzweil's eloquence? The words were, C A E S U R E, and H ' V E. I only wondered this, as both these word bugs were fixed, with the release of jaws 8.0. I wonder if Kurzweil should consider fixing these also in a later update? 
Regards,
Louise.

Hi Flor,
I know it doesn't crash the Sapi engines, I had to use Real Speak Daniel in order to find out what the bug word was. Well maybe the other stuff is just our bad luck with the computer then! Hahaha. 
Regards,
Louise.

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.
