Message-ID: <199612072244.AA07248@world.std.com> (raw)

I can't agree with the idea that Synthavoice should be working on an
NT screen reader.  IBM has already shown in OS/2 Warp 4 that it is
quite feasible and apropos for voice support to be an OS-supplied 
interface, and I'd rather see pressure for Microsoft to adopt IBM's 
solution to have standard hooks.   

An X solution is also laudable, because it cannot be justifiable to
lock a segment of users into a proprietary solution because of a disability.
(Let Microsoft support X?  Why not?)
