Welcome to the list! Answer 1: There is a free dictionary/thesaurus available from http://wordweb.info Answer 2: There is no need to integrate Nextup voices since they're SAPI-compliant.

[JAWS-Users] Re: glad to be on the list
Actually, no new voices have been integrated into Jaws. Version 8.0 of Jaws shipped on cd with the RealSpeak Solo voices on a seperate cd. Everyone should be clear on the fact that these voices are not a part of the Eloquence synthesizer that ships with Jaws. The voices available at Nextup.com, are Sappi compliant voices that will work with Jaws. Sappi is a different synthesizer altogether. Now, it would be nice if the Eloquence synthesizer that Jaws uses, could incorporate these newer voices, so we could have better speech output, with the performance of Eloquence. I don't have any idea how this would be done, but you would think in this modern age of technology, it would be possible.

[JAWS-Users] Re: glad to be on the list
How is it so difficult to understand that is the compromise? It takes a lot more code to be executed and a lot more memory to be accessed to provide very high quality human sounding speech. This takes time and computer processor cycles. There is a reason why super sonic jet fighters are very small and not well suited to hauling cargo. It might be possible to get similar performance out of a wide body passenger jet with enough effort but the example of Concord demonstrates people aren't willing to pay for it. In this day and age for sure blind people are not willing to pay for that level of performance, what I constantly hear is that blind people aren't happy about paying for current levels of performance. Sorry moderator if this is verging on the limits of list topic. It seems though that we are unsure about what it is we require from our access technology, access, versatility, speed, luxury or just what? Be careful what you wish for. Our scanning and reading software hasn't brought us any real advances in print reading for at least a decade. It does give us all sorts of voices and dictionaries and buggy access to already available libraries which many of us are refused access to but the actual reading capability depends on other software providers like Abbey. For my money I would prefer screen access technology which gives me reliable screen access to all of the functions of my computer and so long as it is intelligible I'll accept that until the primary functions are achieved. When we no longer have queries about scripts to be able to use this or that, when all Web sites are rendered intelligible, when Word or Access or Visual Basic and other IDES work for us then is the time to worry about absolute language perfection.

The JAWS implementation of Eloquence could be improved in minor ways, like lengthening the punctuation pauses to make them sound more likea natural reader. This would make it more comfortable for the user reading longer documents. It would also make it possible for the user to increase the speech rate a good deal more than at present, while maintaining speech comprehension. - Original Message - From: Dale Leavens To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 3:45 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: glad to be on the list How is it so difficult to understand that is the compromise?

[JAWS-Users] Thunderbird scripts.
Does anybody know of any scripts or tips for using Thunderbird with jaws 8? I really love the program, however, I am having problems adding people to the to, cc, and bcc fields because of jaws not reading everything it should. Thunderbird seems to be easier, more responsive and not as cluttered as outlook or outlook express. If anybody has any ideas on how to make it easier to use with jaws, I'd be willing to listen.

Hi Chris, As David has suggested, I changed the subject line for this discussion. As to using the voices, our need to change the synthesiser and there are instructions up on the jaws users website that would help you. As to antivirus, I use macafe at home and Norton at work and AVG on another system. To tell the truth, AVG is the most accessible with jaws I find and some of the moderators swear by the paid for professional version. Macafe has its good and bad points it's a matter of taste. By the way, The list is here to help people that use jaws, regardless of their proficiency.

Hi Chris, To use any Sappi voices you have installed with Jaws, from the Jaws window, go to the language menu, and select change synthesizer. When this window opens, you can arrow thru the list of available synthesizers, and hit enter on Sappi 5 to activate it. This change should be immediate. Next change the voices as you would normally for Jaws. As far as scripts for Word Web, there are some at: www.jfwlite.com/programs I don't have Word Web installed right now, but I can check it out with Jaws 7.0 a little later if someone else doesn't come up with an answer to your question in the meantime.

And word web I got that but can't figure out how to use it with jaws. I was using jaws 7.whatever the upgraded jaws 7. How do you get jaws to read the whole screen and all the dialogue boxes etc.? It looked like a good program and I was really wanting it to be user friendly.

Answer 1: There is a free dictionary/thesaurus available from http://wordweb.info Answer 2: There is no need to integrate Nextup voices since they're SAPI-compliant. Hope that helps, and welcome again to this list! On Sun, 18 Feb 2007 05:21:14 -0600, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Hi all. Ifigured I should take advantage of all jaws had to offer so decided to join the list. I'm glad to be here! Well, I have a first question: does anyone know of any web or software dictionaries that are screen reader compatible or are self-voicing? Also, will thosenextup voices like kate or whatever ever be integrated into jaws? Or at least work with it? I like thevoices a lot. It's either nextup or something...neovoices*deep sigh* Thanks Keep on rockin' in the free world!

[JAWS-Users] Re: Outlook Express question
When that particular dialog comes up,just press enter and it will take care of it. However,if you just want to compact on your own, press alt-F for the file menu, f for the folder menu, then f for compact all folders. Or, you can just tell it to compact only one, but I do them all. - Original Message - From: VICTORIA VAUGHAN [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 3:31 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Outlook Express question Hi, Every so often when I close Outlook Express, it asks me if I want to compact, but what is the command to tell it to do it?
