Iwonder if anybody has begun using the readit program and has
encountered the problem Ihave. When you set it to write through bios, it
only reads 1 or 2 lines and then stops reading. If you have it set to
automatic scroll, it works just fine. I found the way Ihad to solve the
problem was to turn line move speech clear off in artic 3.03, which is
fine until you want to go into review mode and move around the screen
reading lines, or maybe look for a line and spell a word in the middle
of that line. Then, when moving from line to line with the arrow key,
the speech doesn't shut up, so you have to read a lot of superfluous
stuff, waiting for each line to clear out of the speech buffer. Is this
problem unique with artic? Is there some other setting I'm missing in
artic that would do the same thing so Ican leave speech clear on? Readit
is a good program, and I"m goint to keep it, but it would be nice to be
able to deal with this little quirk in some other way. Also, it reads
the top line on the screen twice, once when it should and once after it
has read the entire screen, it reads the top line as though it were both
bottom and top lines, in other words. Sorry for that long sentence.
