I don't pretend to understand the innards of this problem; I just know it's an Eloquence problem, not specific to JAWS. If you had a cell phone that used Eloquence, as some of the higher-end ones do, and you entered that text, Eloquence would crash. As Sarah said yesterday, we managed to get the Braille Sense to crash with this word, right in front of the guy from GW Micro who was sure it wouldn't crash. In the overall world-wide scheme of things, this is certainly no big deal; it's sort of amusing. It's not a word we all use all the time. If Eloquence crashed every time you typed "Braille"--now that would be a problem.

What else could it be. It is just a string of letters making a word. terry Powers -----Original Message----- From: Susan Stageberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 5:07 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Future of BrailleNote hardware No, in fact, it is the text typed that causes the crash, but the word is *not* seizure, as in epileptic seizure. See Sarah Cranston's post earlier this afternoon; she's right on the money.
