At work, using Outlook 2010, windows 7 and WE 8.4, I sometimes have this happen. It seems to be less frequent for some reasons lately. What I see is that the spell checker window opens but nothing populates in it. That is where Outlook and WE both freeze and Outlook will only allow me to either wait for a response, which I've tried and doesn't work or allows me to restart it. I'm using a bit of vision to see this message option when I hit alt F4 to try to cancel out.
The only thing I can figure is that this freeze happens if I hit Control S to send a message too quickly after typing the message. Maybe I trained my body to pause before sending and that's why I'm getting the crash less often. If I do restart Outlook, WE will start speaking again, but I have lost the message I typed, which has made me scream a few times. So, if you hang and you are using Outlook, try hitting Alt F4 then tabbing once then hitting enter. If you are getting the same problem I have gotten, this may kill Outlook and have it restart, thus allowing WE to start speaking again. And for anyone who is wondering, I only leave the automatic spell checking on by default because I do not want to risk sending an email with typos in it if I forgot to use the Alt ' method to proof my message. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+robin_van_lant=key....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Jo Taliaferro via Talk Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 3:24 PM To: 'Paulette Vickery'; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: RE: It just stops talking I think we'd have to know what software you use or what device doesn't want you to send emails Jo Taliaferro -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+soaringeagle7=comcast....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Paulette Vickery via Talk Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 3:43 PM To: talk@lists.window-eyes.com Subject: It just stops talking Hi all, When sending 2 emails today, my speech just stopped and of course, I had no idea what to do.
