Hi KK, Narrator is a separate screen reader provided by microsoft. However, microsoft themselves recommend it is only to be used as a temporary screen reader. I have only used it when jaws has stopped working and all I have done with narrator is to try and get jaws back. After that, I've closed it. Each time I've loded Narrator, I've recieved the spoken message which basically says Narrator is not a fully functional screen reader and you would do better to use something different. I personally don't like the voices in narrator either. I'm not bashing narrator, just saying pointing out that really, it's true and better to use jaws or something else. from Andrew ----- Original Message ----- From: "kk." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 7:00 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] narrator not speaking?
