Hi David,
Suggestions such as toggling the speaking of the word "link" or speaking
the links in a different voice should be sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
for the next version of JFW. By the time the public beta stage is reached,
no more features will be added. Public Betas are for squashing those last
few bugs before release, and we can only hope that no big ones are left
unsquashed.
Gary, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
