Marda,
  I am glad you are impressed with Vocal-Eyes.  If you have any problem,
please let me know.

As for which synthesizers Vocal-Eyes supports, here is a list:

Sounding Board, Accent, Artic, Votalker, Braille 'n Speak, DECtalk,
Portable DECtalk, Audapter, Echo GP and PC, Echo PC plus, MC and 1000,
Prose 4000 and Personal speech system versions A and B.  Vocal-Eyes
also has a generic driver which can be configured to a synthesizer not
listed here.

Noteworthy is a pop-up note taking program.  You can pop it up anytime
even inside an applications program.  Once popped up, you can take a
phone message, lookup information or what ever you want.  It offers many
editing features to allow you to manipulate the text.  Its great for
working on batch files.  Anytime you need a litte editor, Noteworthy is
great.  It allows you to read by character, word, line, sentence and
paragraph.  Load, save or print directly in Noteworthy.

Noteworthy was written to take advantage of your underlying screen reader.
As I have said before, if you are using Vocal-Eyes, Noteworthy will sence
that it is present and load the correct voice environment.  Once you exit
out of Noteworthy, your voice environment will return as it was.

Noteworthy sells for $69.00.  There is a demo of this program available.
If you would like one, please let me know.  I would be glad to send you
a copy.

Thanks again Marda.
  Regards,
      Doug
