Well, you two, that's a very strange statement indeed. Firstly, I should say immediately that I have not installed the beta, and don't know if I want to expose myself to that experience. I'm very happy with things as they are for now with Version 6.1, and think I'll let others pull out their hair. But I have always used Read-to-end constantly, for reading some very long articles using both MS Word and IE7, and have never ever experienced a slowing down of the reading speed, whether reading articles near the beginning or the end of the New York Times, or whether I just start reading at the beginning and let 'er rip for hours. It just keeps on keepin' on until I hit Escape, and sometimes I've had to hit escape twice to stop it, but it never slows down. Strangely, one of the things that does crash read-to-end for me, not invariably, but certainly instantaneously when it does, is the arival of e-mail. I never have gotten to the bottom of that one, and I'll be interested to hear if 7-Beta is affected similarly.
I'm one of those who really wanted to see the feature that would allow the slowing or speeding up of the reading on the fly while in Read-to-end, not because the reading speed wouldn't hold, but because sometimes my old brain finds it can't absorb material at the same rate, depending upon how technical the subject matter is. Now I've always had to use Jaws at work, and though I had many gripes with it, I certainly never found that it's reading speed slowed down either with length of time reading, or because of increasing distance from the top of the file. But Jaws always did have a very nice speed-change function that worked on the fly while reading-to-end. So now, I'd really like to hear more about that decreasing speed business you guys experience while in read-to-end. Seriously, do others have that experience?

I always assumed that this is just a quirk with Eloquence. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
