- I got a call from a woman the other day who was looking for
- advice. She has a KPR and uses its DEC-Talk for speech with her
- computer. She has tried both Artic businessvision and JAWS. She
- doesn't like the way it reads. She says it doesn't sound
- natural. She doesn't want to pronounce the punctuation marks,
- period coma, etc., but she does want the system to pause
- noticably, breaking up things into sentences. Any ideas would be
- appreciated as I am sure that some of you gurus are more expert
- on specifics than I. Are their changes that could be made in
- either program to do what she wants, or would another program
- offer better options?
