A while back I asked how to do this but got no reply.  Doug Lee informed
me on this list that there is a COM API that is part of a JAWS
installation.  Previously, I had only known of a way for an application to
produce a speech message through JAWS by using a Win32 type of call to
JFWAPI.dll.

Although I did find references to a COM object model using a COM browser,
I could not figure out how to instantiate and use such an object.  Can
anyone tell me how an application, other than JAWS, can call a COM method,
passing it a string, to produce a speech message through the currently
running JAWS?

This has become more important because JFWAPI.dll does not seem to
work under 64 bit Windows.
