Subject: FlexTalk 2.1 is Available

FlexTalk 2.1 is now available as standalone software in CD format for use
with JFW under Windows 95.  A SoundBlaster 16 compatible sound card is
required.  A JFW authorization is NOT required.

FlexTalk offers 2 canned voices and is highly customizable.  Each voice
can be altered to suit the ear of the user.  More than 21 different
properties, including volume and speed, are available to govern voice and
speaking characteristics.  New voices can also be created as desired.  In
addition, FlexTalk provides a pronunciation dictionary.  For instance,
words that would otherwise sound alike can be set to be said differently.
Also, words can be set to be said differently depending upon the part of
speech in which they are used.

FlexTalk settings are available under the FlexTalk 2.1 Configuration icon
in the Windows 95 Control Panel.  Once FlexTalk is loaded and in operation
with JFW, this icon is largely accessible to speech.  However, sighted
help is advisable.  The Help button on the FlexTalk Properties sheet
contains all the user instructions.

available in both North America and Europe.  The domestic US price is
$100.00 plus shipping and handling, and applicable sales taxes.
