Hello James. I'll answer each question in turn.
1. One of the many reasons we switched to using this newer Eloquence is
because with it being tied directly to WE, you can control which sound
card it comes out of regardless of what Windows uses as its default
sound card. In addition, you can use Eloquence if you run Window-Eyes
Mobile from a removable USB memory stick.
2. If you are unable to use control-alt-arrow keys due to conflicts, you
can either redefine those hot keys, or you can go into the screen,
keyboard, and mouse menus of the Window-Eyes control panel and change
the settings individually.
3. We have created a script called Weather Or Not to show that something
can be done with scripting to allow a user to not have to use another
program. There are good ones however which are dedicated to weather and
don't require Window-Eyes, such as WetSoc from www.robomagic.com.
However if you want to see how neat scripting is for a non-Window-Eyes
function, then download Weather Or Not and be amazed.

Hello all!
I fully realize many are probably all excited about the scripting and such
which is great but I really like the new eloquence! It really goes fast and
that is much better than the dectalk speech engine but I didn't mind it
either! I knew I had the new eloquence speech since I could plug in my USB
headset and the voice came through it right away as did the dectalk speech!
This shows how GW Micro listens to its users and we again have an eloquence
speech engine which works so well with Window Eyes! I still have more to
check out and so far so good! I'm not going back to 6.1! I'm in this till I
get my 7.0 disk!
Great work GW Micro!
Did I read that there is another fast command for speeding up and slowing
speech other than the alt control up or down arrows? I couldn't find a way
to turn off the screen video on those keys with my particular PC despite the
articles so I'm hoping there is a different way to deal with the speeding up
and slowing of voices! How does one get instant weather? I don't recall
seeing that in the readme but could have missed it!
Thanks so much!
Jim Aldrich
