[JAWS-Users] live messenger being difficult - Yahoo being stupid - Switching to Miranda

[JennyK]

I see no reason why Yahoo wouldn't work with 11 but I never really tried it. 
In  10 I found it quirky and unstable, connection problems, lots of little 
things that just bugd the .... out of me. And that was before the messages 
started to have delays of more than five seconds before they were spoken. So 
I downloaded Miranda.
It works like a charm. I love it already. With a little bit of tweaking and 
adding a number of words in the dictionary I find it runs very smooth.
What it doesn't do is speak the smileys. If I go into the histry it's there, 
let's say a winking smiley ;)
Even if I have added that to the dictionary, it won't speak it when the 
message is spoken.
I can live without it as I send smileys and they can see them just fine. 
I'm just wondering if anyone is using Miranda here and has anything to add.

Downloaded Miranda from  the jaws-users page, under programs, as well as the 
scripts from the script page.
