Daveed,
  I am not exactly sure what you mean by more intelligent but you can
be assured it will have some great new features.

It is very difficult for a brand new screen reader to be up to the
standards of what is already out there.  It takes a tremendous amount
of time and energy!  When Vocal-Eyes was first released I had about
16 months of my time invested.

 DM> Will you be supporting the Doubletalk?

Actually by using the generic driver supplied with Vocal-Eyes you can
already use the Doubletalk.  However, I am working with Randy and have
already started creating a driver specifically for it.  Randy is making
some last minute changes so once he is done I will be able to finish.  It
will be ready when the Doubletalk is placed into production.

Regards,
  Doug
