I also have a problem with the app manager losing speech. I use sapi VW
Paul for my speech. Most of the time, once I have closed the app,
speech will return. Sometimes, I can go through the entire list of 36
apps to check their status or version, but at other times, I may only
make it through about 10 before speech crashes.

I just checked for braille display and it says none. Right after that
I checked the app manager and this time lost speech right after
entering the list of apps. Had to hit escape twice to get back to
your message. Thanks for the idea though.

Steve,
Is it possible that you are not using a braille display, but your
window-eyes is set for you to have one? I have seen a report like
yours, when window-eyes has braille turned on, but there is no
braille display; or maybe it was set for a braille display, but
there was no braille display installed. anyway, if you aren't
using one, make sure window-eyes is set for no braille.
hth,
Chip

*Subject:* 7.5 beta 1: Temporary loss of speech with eloquence
when working with app management area of control panel
Using window xp professional, service pack 3, 512m ram. This
problem doesn't happen with the dectalk 32 window-eyes synthesizer
but does happen with the eloquence that is tied into window-eyes,
(using the Reed voice).
When I go to the app menu, then right arrow on "app management",
then arrow down to "app manager", once I hear the first item, if I
down arrow to the next item, I get temporary loss of speech. It
becomes choppy, with a few phrases of the new item being read, a
five or so second pause, then a bit more of a phrase, etc.
Sometimes the speech goes out completely, especially if I
downarrow through a number of lines in that list of apps.
I get my speech back when I exit out of the control panel with the
escape a couple times. However, once I did hve to reboot by
pressing the power button for a second or so. That time, I had up
and downarrowed through a number of apps, and even after hitting
escape a few times, speech didn't return. I either wasn't patient
enough to see if it did come back or it truly was good and lost,
which is why I rebooted.
This is Not happening with the decktalk 32 windo-eyes synthesizer.
Nor does it happen with either synthesizer in the "add or remove
apps" area of the app management section of control panel.
Also, unrelated, I do sense a slight sluggishness while typing
this message. I used to think that the sluggishness that has been
reported was only happening in list boxes such as indexes of email
messages, or windows explorer, etc. But there is a very slight
sluggishness while writing as well, but much less than the earlier
one dealing with list boxes. I even notice when doing a
ctrl-numpad-5 key to read current line, that there is a very
slight sluggishness, compared to version 7.2. Same as I arrow
through this message I'm writing.
I'm positing this will be resolved when the issue of listbox
sluggishness is handled. I'm assuming they are related, but have
no idea.
Thanks,
Steve
