Hi Mark, I only have ESpeak and the Microsoft Speech platform here at the moment as voice options, but the issues I have written about appear to be ESpeak specific. I know from experience that Eloquence wouldn't do this out of the box, etc as well. I was able to read the last Facebook status that was reading in a strange way perfectly with the Microsoft speech platform, that didn't read right using ESpeak. Cool, I guess, grin! Regards, Keith. However, I can reproduce one issue, regardless of speech synthesizer utilized with the latest stable Window-Eyes. That read to end bug I wrote about where the last word Window-Eyes encounters gets repeated, in this case my name a few moments ago, repeated Keith over and over and over without pause until I shut up speech myself, and I don't have ESpeak being used at the moment. Only work around for that particular bug is to put a blank line at the eend of a email, etc. However, I should note this behavior is happening inside Mozilla Firefox, and surprisingly, not Notepad as my test application! Wow! Mozilla Firefox is my default browser. And if it helps, always use the cursor keys to navigate with in pages is checked under the options area, I wonder if that's causing some of fthis behavior like read to end being odd?
