Wow. I came in on JFW 3.2 also. Know what's a really terrible speech system?
Audapter. It's like the echo for apple but on crack. Kinda reminds me of
what would happen if you ran six or seven hundred volts through someone's
tongue and asked them to speak clearly.

Hi Stefen,
All I can say is I go way back before Jaws for Dos was even invented. My 
first speech synth was an echo for an Apple 2-E, and the text games of 
the mid 80's era were fun.
Anyway, I can remember the days when I had to use Jaws without such a 
thing as a software synth. In high school I had to carry around a 486 
laptop with a dectalk express in my backpack which I plugged in after I 
got the laptop all setup on a table in the class room, and it was not a 
very portible setup. In fact, most of the time rather than bringing my 
Dectalk to school I turned on my Braille N Speak and ran it through 
speechbox mode with JFD and JFW 1.x. That was aweful speech!
