- Lloyd,
- You're explanation of ANSI.SYS repositioning the cursor with a cr
- might not have resolved Walter's pronounciation problem, but it may have
- explained something I've noticed with the 3.02 Xpress reader!
-
- Apparantly somewhere along the line <Hec> lost the built in
- Vocal_Eyes interface, and unlike with the 3.01 reader which I have gone
- back to using, the 3.02 often combines the last word of a line with the
- first word of the next in its pronounciation. For some reason I think
- this may be related to what you said, and hope it's fixed in the new
- version.
-
- In other words, all of you using Xpress with speech, I suggest you
- stick with the 3.01 version and don't bother updating to 3.02, for
- although in general it is still extremely speech friendly, this one
- little bug can be a tad annoying.
