Cc: Ali Abdolrahmani Subject: Reading long documents - Two questions on voices Hi, I am a PhD student. I have to read many long papers and text books. When I read technical papers, I have the following concerns and I would like to know if any of members have suggestions or solutions: 1. I use sentence by sentence reading command of Jaws to be able to capture as much as I read while reading. I pause between sentences and sometimes take notes. My problem is when the cursor goes to the next paragraph, I don't have any idea that the paragraph has changed. Understanding the change in paragraph helps when you like to organize your mind about the flow of concepts. Is there any solutions or workarounds that we can receive an audio feedback when the cursor goes to next paragraph? 2. Second, for long and complex technical papers, I use expressive voices to sound to me more naturally and not make me tired. My problem is that I need to slow down the speed of the voice to be able to follow the complex structure of my papers. I wish I could change the pause length between words and after punctuations instead of slowing down the entire reading. Slowing down the entire reading makes me tired after some while. Is there any high quality synthesizer alternative voices that we can do this? I hope I could express what I mean well enough for folks.
