The important word here is: "think". All of us have our favorite speech synth, and Heaven help the person who will try to say another is better. <LOL> Personally, I would gladly use something else besides the Keynote speech on the BrailleNote, but I do realize this is a major selling point for the HW products. BTW, Sarai, I didn't realize Jaws was a speech synthesizer rather than a screen reader.
