any one tryed useing webspeak
I think PW Web Speak is a great program. It stands totally alone not
needing NetScape or any other browser, nor does it need a synthesizer and
screen reader.
Out of the box it has its own softvoice synthesizer which works with your
sound card, it is a browser, and it already has real audio and other
plugins integrated. Its design removes the hassle of separately
downloading real audio, Net Scape or Internet Explorer, and making them
work with speech.
It only has two drawbacks which I have discovered.
1. It is not secure: This means that on a site like Consumer Reports which
requires a secure password transfer, it won't work.
2. It does not have integrated email, though, I believe this will be
corrected soon.
I normally use JFW 3.0, and have had no trouble with conflicts with the
softvoice in Web Speak.
