Scott,
No, you made a mistake in just leaving those previous messages,
cause by showing yourself as a Jaws user, you did more to hurt their
sales than Coca-Cola did when they separated into New and Classical!
Ok, now that I got that off my chest, let me explain something to
you.
The control-L you mistakenly attributed to Flipper as the current
line command, is actually the default current line key in Vocal-Eyes.
Obviously you must have never used either of these programs, or you
would have attributed it to the proper program.
Actually, your whole line of argument was convoluted, as Vocal-Eyes
has the ability to redifine all the hot keys as you like, and right from
a very user friendly menu that I am sure you could appreciate. For
example, I use the alt-I to read the current line in my Vocal-Eyes
setups, as I got familiar with it when running Flipper.
As far as your comments on support of the respective products goes,
what does that have to do with how good the program is itself? I am not
about to support the Omnichron support fascilities at this point, but
since you were unconsciously talking about Vocal-Eyes in your message at
times, let me tell you a little about their support...
I have sat here and seen its author, Doug Geoffray, answer every
question thrown at him in this echo, and these were primarily just from
people using demos, not people who had purchased the program. Likewise,
I have called the GWMicro number early in the morning and late in the
evening and always managed to get through, not to a "representative",
but to either Doug or Dan, the G and the W in GWMicro. I have seen Doug
write drivers for two synthesizers that wern't currently being supported
by his program based upon the request of just a few of us, and I saw him
make them available immediately to all via this medium!
I am sure that Jaws is a fine speech program, but my knowledge is
based upon the fact that Walter has told me so, and that Grant has told
me so, and that others here have told me so, but not upon one word of
the bull you have slung into the echo!
