Microsoft Speech Annoyance
Hello, I'm using the Microsoft Speech Platform with the U.S. English voice, WE 9.4 and Windows 7 HP. The problem is that it expands abreviations to whole words even when it's not appropriate. For example, instead of saying "Wizard of OZ" it says "Wizard of Ounce" or the word "miss" is pronounced "Mississippi" regrardless of the context. I've played with the settings in the Screen tab in the WE control panel but nothing helps. Is there a fix or is it a limitation of the synthesizer?

Re: Extractin Digital Talking Book Problem
Hi, I checked the cartridge and found no problems and tried extracting several books with same result. I used 7-Zip on the book that first indicated a problem and 7-Zip had no problem.

All that really is is a flash drive inside an enclosure that looks very much like a talking book case. It could also be that the book, itself is corrupted. you might try downloading that particular book again and then first unzip it and see what happens. then if it unzips ok, then go ahead and copy it to your cartridge. I'd also like to recommend 7zip. It's a great program, fully accessible with Window-eyes, and all screenreaders for that matter. On 5/20/2016 3:13 PM, Tom Kingston via Talk wrote: I just tried this and it worked fine. But I discovered years ago that it was faster to extract the book on my hard drive and then copy it to the cartridge. Although extracting it directly is now just as fast if I use a USB 3 thumb drive on a USB 3 port. You can also try opening the context menu on the zip file and unblocking it. If none of this works the cartridge may be corrupted. I'd open My computer, select the drive, context menu, properties, tools, and check the drive.

The folder for the book is created but the folder is empty and I can't alt-tab to the cartridge. In the past few days, I have done only two things with the computer. One, I installed 3 optional updates from Windows Update. Two, I tried the OCR feature of Virtual View for the ffist time. I enabled the 'Windows TIF Ifilter before trying Virtual View. I unchecked the Windows TIF Ifilter after having the problem extracting books. I have not uninstalled the latest updates as yet but I will if recommended to do so. I am running Windows 7 HP, WE 9.4 on an Acer laptop 64-bit with 3 gigs of ram. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Loss of speech
Hello, I upgraded to WE 9.3.1 yesterday successfully. However, this afternoon, I've lost speech and had to restart WE three times. Twice, speech was lost after opening a link in an email in WLM 2009. One was a Kepler update from NASA and the other was alink in an weekly update from the city of Royal Oak, Michigan. The third loss of speech happened while using the OCR pportion of MP Navigator which came with my Canon scanner. I haven't had this happen with WE for a very long time. I'm using an Acer laptop with Windows 7 HP 64-bit, I.E. 11 and the SAPI synthesizer. The link from Royal Oak leads to weekly police reports in PDF format. Loss of speech happened when Adobe Reader DC tried to open the PDF. I didn't have any of these problems with WE 9.2.

Re: WE 9.2 and IE 11
Hi, I'm running WE 9.2 and Windows 7 HP 64-bit on a 6-year old Acer laptop with only 2 Gigs of ram. It has a ATI Radian HD3200 graphics and Realtech HD sound card built-in and I'm not experiencing the constant crashes that others are reporting. My biggest complaaint about I.E. 11 is encountering links that can't be opened, buttons that can't be clicked, combo boxes that can't be activated and so on. I am particularly disappointed that the Walmart.com web site is almost impossible to use any more. In the past, I've ordered from Walmart.com every 6 to 8 weeks. The orders consisted of non-perishible food, household items and personal products at very competitive prices. I was unable to complete a questionaire on line in preparation for a doctor's appointment because links wouldn't open and edit boxes wouldn't accept text. These type of issues directly affect my ability to function independently as a blind person. I know that a screenreader can't overcome a poorly designed web site but I can empathize with those that feel that accessibility in general is not as good as it should be nowadays. I will continue to use WE and hope that future releases will address some of these issues.

After all, management might be listening, and heaven forbid someone tell the truth about a product. Although, I am still wondering what the differences are between those systems that are said to run 9.2 without a stitch of problems, and the systems those of us who can barely get a session on the Web finished without speech dropping out, or the system freezing up. I asked this question to those who had those systems that were having no issues, but did not get a single reply. So I'll ask my question to those of us who are having major issues with 9.X. To those who are finding 9.2, or 9.1 locking up, or Speech Dropping out, or requiring a restart of WE, or a hard Re Boot, does your computer have a Dedicated Sound card in the system? Meaning, the Sound chips you are using, are on a Card that is plugged into the Mother Board, rather than are built into the Mother board from the Mother board manufacturer. This system I use, has no dedecated Sound card, but is using the built in Graphics as well as the built in Sound features that were part of the Mother board. How about the rest of you, if you can write an Email without having the system freeze. -- Dave dlh...@centurylink.net ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

Get Windows 10 at Start-up
Hello, I reserved a copy of Windows 10 and I thought I would have to download and install or not. I received the email from Microsoft that my copy of Windows 10 is available. Now, when I start my computer, Windows Update starts automatically and starts downloading Windows 10. I do not want to download or install 10 at this time so How do I get Microsoft to quit bugging me about it. I'm running Office edition of WE 9.2 and windows 7 HP.

Office 2013 Problems
Hello, I took the plunge and bought Office 2013 through Amazon. I created a Microsoft account and downloaded and installed Office 2013. When I try to start any of the components of Office, I get the error message that it has stopped working and will be closed. At one point, I was asked if I wanted to go into safe mode to diagnose the problem. I couldn't remember if WE 7.55.4.1 would work in safe mode at the time so I declined. Before I bug Microsoft about it, I thought somebody might have some ideas I could try.

Office 2013 Problems
Hello, Just to update, I found out that I needed to set the file associations for the components of Office in the Control Panel. All of the components are opining now. Now, all I have to do is learn how to use them. (Smile) Next step, download Window-Eyes 9.1 for Office. Be prepared for another holler for help.
