I have heard that Vocal Eyes has a macro facility and that that the hot
keys are definable, but is it able to monitor a certain window or
"frame" as does jaws? ? I purchased Jaws because it was demonstrated
to me that it worked well with Word Perfect. However I've been really
disappointed because though it works prety well with the spell checker
I cannot get it to point out the misspelled word though it will
automatically read me the status line and I have managed to get it to
read the choices of words. Can Vocal Eyes be set up so that a macro
can be establishedto seak out a mispelledword if it is highlighted? My
problem with talking programs in the past is that they show the
choices, the status line, but the misspelled word is not findable. I
know these programs like Word Perfect are really difficult to get
working with speech programs, but I need one that can work the spell
checker efficiently in Word Perfect. Can vocal Eyes meat the
challenge?

Hi Grant, where have you been all of this time?
Vocaleyes, does not have any built-in macros like jaws does. They
claim you don't need them. However, I have been looking through
the docs, and I think that they could sure use them. They have a
lot of pull down menus and by the time you pull down a menu, and
another one, and make a choice, I wish they did use macros like
jaws does. They would certainly make getting through those menus,
and making choices a lot easier and faster.

Grant, did you load in the wp5.jcf file? I am not using
wordperfect 5, but I am using wordperfect 4.2, and I don't have any
problem with jaws pointing out the mispelled word to me. You press
control-numpad5, and it will put the jaws cursor on the mispelled
word, and then you press control-down arrow key, and it will put
the jaws cursor on the first word choice.
Hope this will help you.
