Hello Listers, Further to my previous message, there was a version of jaws available for dos. I've never used it, but if you could find a pc in which the relevant speech card could fit, you could perhaps try it out. I think it's still on fs's site. And I don't think it was a paid version. I don't have an idea what version it was and it would probably not have been updated.

Hello Howard and David, I also have a Vert prose 4000 speech card, also in a shelf, as it's too wide to fit in the relevant card slots of any pc I could find to purchase for the past ten years or more. I was still able to use the card with an old version of openbook, version 2 E, under windows 3.1 and probably up to windows 98, as openbook could use that card to produce the dectalk voices, but that was still in an older pc. If you have a regular dectalk express, you may be able to utilize those voices through that, however, not the Vert Prose 4000 card's internal attractive voice, though.

I in fact have an old board with the software sitting in a drawer because unfortunately it is no longer of any use for the past 14 years for me at least. To answer your question I do not believe so.

Anyone remember the old Personal Vert screen reader from back in the DOS days? I have a couple of those synthesizers around here and I'm wondering if any version of JAWS supports that speech board? Help? Thanks.
