Version 3 is definitely an improvement in many areas.  However a lot of the
fine-control options that existed in Version 2.0 do not exist in version 3.0.
Frankly, I wish I had some of them back.  I don't want the moose to speak
every Menu selection, Window, Dialog, and Alert, but I wouldn't mind him
speaking just alerts or just Dialogs or etc., etc.  Also, it would be nice
to have more control over the delay time, instead of just a few selections.
In addition, you now can't edit the On/Off phrases.  However, these are only
small problems with an otherwise terrific product.
