Jim, thanks for the suggestions. I did get it working as I want with a very
simple thing. Pause and delay work differently, but I was always under the
impression that both ways made things slow down slightly. I was over
thinking it and was a little stuck, so I just put in a pause, and bingo all
was well. It doesn't seem to slow things down like the delay did.
Now I think the pause is a system/program thing, where as a delay is
stopping jaws from speaking for a specified amount of time. So, maybe the
pause just waits until the program has processed and then away we go again,
I'm not sure, but it's working.
Anyway, the schedule function is something I have used in the scripts and it
works well, so I should have thought of that, but I haven't done much with
new text event. I'll certainly make a note of that for the future, but
thanks again for your help. Best steve.

Steve, if you don't speak this information from your script, and the
information changes, is jaws currently able to detect that? I'm thinking
of a NewTextEvent firing on that control. If you can find some event that
fires, you can hook into that. If not, you can do the delay thing, or,
you can schedule a function to do it. I like the latter, because it allows
the script to finish more quickly, freeing up the keyboard.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Jaws speaking information too quick?
Hi folks. I have a situation where Jaws speaks information too quick. Of
course speed is always an objective, but in this case I want to maximize
speed, while getting accurate information.
Scenario is, a key is pressed and the scripts speaks the window text of a
given window handle. Trouble is the information in this window is spoken
prior to it changing. I know I can put in a delay, but I'd like not to do
that and try and maximize the speed, rather than putting in a standard
delay, which will affect it.
So, is there any other approach that can speak this change, while keeping
the maximum amount of speed? The control in question reports the position,
and currently the bar you're on is spoken instead of the bar you've just
moved to.
Thanks for any help. Best steve.
