[gui-talk] Free screenreaders was RE: Thunder screen readerfreefor ALL

[slery]

Josh,

When you are using your home computer, you can tell NVDA to use other voices
that you have installed on your system.  I used VW Paul when I tried it
before.

Thanks, for the heads up about system access to go not using Firefox.  I use
firefox all of the time and this is very important to me.   Since I did like
it before, I will continue using NVDA and try the new version.  
Cindy
