Hi cory, No, I hadn't. I don't typically keep up on the latest jaws news because I am first and foremost a Window eyes user. Most of the time I use the Dectalk Access that ships with Window Eyes as my default synth not Eloquence. In fact, about the only time i use Jaws 9 these days is for the Ja

Hi Shaun, It was. Like I said earlier I purchased the Keynote Gold Multimedia software back in the Windows 95/98 days before Eloquence became a part of Jaws, Window Eyes, etc. After Eloquence became a standard part of screen readers like Jaws I never heard anything about Keynote Gold any more.

its the keynote gold synth on sound card. On that note tom, I suspect that stuff was released for win95 before all these new synths like realspeak came out. I never heard someone running it in anything higher than 95, no reason it shouldn't run on 95 98 and with the dos hack loaded win me. Howeve

Hi Andy, Several years ago during the Windows 95 and 98 era Humanware and Pulse Data created their own text to speech engine called Keynote Gold Multimedia. It sounded like a Keynote SA, had the same built in multilingual abilities, and I used it at Wright State for doing my foreign language c

In jaws version the option to read a dos window are there but commented out. You would have to go into the default.jcf file, and look for dos prompt. Then take out the */ and /* at the end of comment. Then it will read like versions out now. At 12:51 PM 8/16/2006, you wrote: >The difference is

The difference is that JFW 4, I think you have to route the cursors to read the window, and sometimes their'd for some reason be pauses before jaws reads the line. With 6, jaws automatically reads the dos box. By the way, I'm sorry for the delay, I'll set up the league tomorrow, it's just that I've
