Tandy,
I have already placed a disk in the mail for you. The disk contains
a beta which I believe will be the production version of the Audapter
device driver for Vocal-Eyes. I am very pleased with the results. The
Audapter is very responsive.
This brings up a good point. I have found out why Vocal-Eyes is a bit
more sluggish with external synthesizer then other screen readers. The
reason has to do with getting the synthesizer stuck in the wrong speech
mode. For example if you have the screen and keyboard voices setup
differently, you may be getting the keyboard voice when listening to
screen text or the other way around.
So with Vocal-Eyes I have fixed the problem. This should
never happen. It will and does happen every now and then with the other
guys. Because of this Vocal-Eyes was a bit more sluggish. So I am
wondering what is better, getting the synthesizer in the wrong mode or
being sluggish. I took the middle ground. Vocal-Eyes is now extreemly
responsive of course assuming the synthesizer is. The synthesizer may
occationaly get stuck in the wrong mode but within a few keystrokes it
will return to normal. This gets a bit more complicated then I have
led to believe here but to make a long story short, Vocal-Eyes gives you
the best of both worlds.
Let me know what you think of the Audapter device driver.
Regards,
Doug
