This isn't entirely a We problem. There are known issues that cause Outlook to lock up. No fixes in the works yet though.
The problem with WE is that it plays too nicely in the sandbox. When outlook locks up We isn't able to continue slogging along. If you call up a second text to speech program and shut down Outlook, WE begins to talk again. It would be nice if WE was more aggressive and have it assert itself more firmly. Another option to consider is when trying to launch Window-Eyes when it is already running, instead of a message saying that it is already running Window-Eyes should just unload itself and reload again. This would get it speaking on those occasions when a program like Outlook goes down and takes speech output as one of its hostages.

These functions include entering an address to send an e-mail, typing in a subject line and spell check using the outlook spell checker. I really do believe this is a WE issue as if I shut down We and restart it, I am able to perform the needed tasks. Does anyone have any ideas on who to address this issue. I find myself relying more and more on my iPod fifth generation to avoid dealing with these frustrations. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
