as I stated previously JAWS used to show the actual rate and I recall thatat rate 95 ]\= 50% and when it actually showed the word count it was at 350 WPM. If you have any earlier versions of JAWS you might go back to them and experiment with the settings under voices in the options menu to find out more about word rates.

Dear elf,
Oh my, you mean you can read JAWS at 500 words per minute?
I know the 300 Words Per Minute I am currently using was not as fast as I
could use JAWS and comprehend pretty well, Perhaps I might go 400 Words
per minute and with Practice be able to comprehend pretty well, but 500
words per minute?
Never!
And yes, I was sighted and I do not think I ever read at 400 words a
minute with eyesight.
Just for my information, which I will gratefully appreciate, how fast do
most of you fine folks use JAWS?
At Home?
At Work?
Thanks for any input!
With Best Regards,
Alan

Subject: Re: [Bulk] what is this?
having been fully sighted I can answer this, the sighted world doesn't
know how to handle multiple inputs! simple and to the point...
for the main part everything in the "normal" world is based on the
written word, it doesn't matter for the main part that not everyone
learns well from the written word, that's the way its done.
so much so that I wasn't hearing half of what was going on around me
sound wise when I had my site, and had to relearn how to focus on sound
in order to get past the noise filters I had developed in my mind.
luckily the human body will assist you with that when its deprived of its main sensory input.
and I was a mechanic, so was used to "using my ears" in assistance to
diagnosing problems with gas and diesel engines
not well done, but its how it's done out there
so they have no motivation, nor the trained in capacity to use the
"additional" input presented by programs like jaws and such, absolutely
none, another bad point is at the rate of reading I had, which was about
500 words a minute, I would not have been able to make much sense out of
what would have been coming out of the speakers if the speech program was
trying to keep up with my visual reading speed

Yeah, because Jaws doesn't even write by itself...
If Jaws can't complete it, it's because your fingers are unable to move
over the keys to complete it...
And anyone on this list should be able to identify the difference
between "Text to speech" and "Speech to text." JFW is the first one! :)
I'm wondering why can't or don't sighted people use JFW regularly? It's
so much faster using Jaws to read than it is to use your eyes. I'd think
using both your eyes and your ears would make for extraordinary speeds
on the computer...
Also when reading books, I can get through one and a half 400 page book
in a day if I just read on my travel time, so why couldn't products for
the blind get legalized for sighted people and mainstreamed?
Just a random question that I've never been able to comprehend never
being sighted...
Thanks,

Perhaps it's one of those great universal puzzles that we're just not
