Dennis,
Beginning with Window-Eyes 7.0, we will no longer be providing an
audio recording of the manual. At least not an audio recording by
one of us. We will, however, be providing a DAISY version of the
manual, both text only, and audio. The voice used to record the
audio version of the DAISY manual is Microsoft Anna, the same voice
that ships with Windows Vista. We contemplated using a more
realistic voice, but, honestly, the license cost for these other
voices is substantial, and would most likely increase the cost of
Window-Eyes. It just isn't worth it in our opinion. If resources
become more abundant in the future, we may switch to a DAISY version
using human speech, but for now we're going with Miss Anna. I've had
several users test this version of the DAISY manual privately, and
there is a consensus that the speech is acceptable. It's not
amazing, but it works. Because the audio version of the DAISY manual
uses MP3 files, we will also provide a playlist that will allow
access to the audio files only for those people without some sort of
DAISY player.
So to answer your question directly, there will be an MP3 version of
the manual, but not recorded by a human. All together, there will be
six versions of the Window-Eyes manual available: CHM (Windows
Help), Text (both individual sections and a single file), DAISY
(both text-only and audio), and HTML (web based).
We feel this combination of file formats will provide something for everyone.
One final note: the Window-Eyes Scripting Manual will remain in CHM
only. It is a reference for scripters, and doesn't make much sense
to exist in many other formats.
I hope that answers your question.
