Hi Doug,

maybe I should phrase it differently; I don't want to generate sounds by
playing a wave file, or cause certain characters to appear on a braille
display which would otherwise be there only to make the speech sound better.

So, I'd like to know how to detect that they have the synth set to "none";
can I do that?

thanks.

Chip

Chip,

There is no way to know for sure.  Just because I'm a braille only user
doesn't mean there is no speech being generated.  Maybe they don't have
speakers, maybe the speakers are turned down, maybe the sound is coming out
fine but can't be heard, maybe they have the synth set to none or just
disabled.  Bottom line, there is no way to know for sure.  Can you tell me
why you would need to know this?

Doug
