Jan,
My first impression would be for you to make your "Talking" software
work with screen readers instead of directly accessing the synthesizer.
As you may or may not know, we have our own screen reader "Vocal-Eyes."
Vocal-Eyes or any screen reader handles the dirty work between the
application and the synthesizer. I feel this would be the best way to
go. Just a thought!
Regards,
Doug

Jan,
Vocal-Eyes is not shareware. However, we do have a demonstration
version available. If you would like a demo copy let me know, I would
be glad to send you a copy. The demo copy lasts for 20 minutes at
a time. The entire manual is included on the disks as well.
Thanks
Doug
