Another alternative is to buy a USB "plug in sound card." I have a Turtle Beech USB sound device and I can instruct JAWS to issue through that device rather than the native sound card. Then I can listen to on-line radio etc. and have my JAWS speech channeled through the Turtle Beech sound card seamlessly. ---*---*---*---*---*--- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net A hole has been found in the nudist camp wall.

Hi All. As I've posted before, I just got a new laptop. Naturally, no one uses serial ports anymore, so this doesn't have any. However, I have a perfectly good DECTalk Express. What I'm wondering is: 1. Is there an adapter I can get to plug into my USB port to be able to use my DEC-Talk? and if so, will Windows Vista recognize it? 2. If not, what's a good, decently priced external synthesizer? I want to be able to use the speakers/sound card for playing audio, and when i listen to audio, it tends to drown JAWS out when they're sharing speakers. Thanks.
