JC, None of our screen readers speak a pure English, especially with the 
right accent.  Jaws doesn't come in Northeast, South, Midwest and West.  But 
it does come in British.  Since I write some words in Hebrew and our CH 
sound sounds nothing like CH when it appears in a Hebrew word, I'll attest 
to the fact that Mr. Jaws really should become more international.  BTW, 
does Jaws have a version for Chinese and Japanese populations?  Judith
