1. DESCRIPTION
==============

Keynote GOLD Multimedia is a software-based synthesizer that uses
your computer's sound card and, unlike traditional synthesizers,
does not require any additional hardware.

Keynote GOLD Multimedia is compatible with all major screen
readers and accessibility software. It is not linked to any screen
reader so you only need buy one copy of Keynote GOLD Multimedia
that will work with all your screen readers and accessibility
software.

The multilingual version of Keynote GOLD Multimedia is capable of
speech in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.

A characteristic of all software-based synthesizers is that a
conflict exists if the software synthesizer and another program
playing sampled sounds (like WAV files) try to use the Sound Card
at the same time. Programs that play sampled sounds include some
games, and web browsers that are set to automatically play
downloaded sounds. Be careful with programs like this and be aware
that if you play a WAV file, speech may be disabled until the WAV
file has finished. The playing of audio CDs and synthesized sounds
through the Sound Card does not cause conflicts.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR KEYNOTE GOLD MULTIMEDIA
========================================================

There are two steps involved in setting up your computer to use
Keynote GOLD Multimedia. The first is to install Keynote GOLD
Multimedia itself and the second is to set up your screen reader
or other accessibility software to use Keynote GOLD Multimedia.
This section describes how to install Keynote GOLD Multimedia.
Instructions for setting up your screen reader or other
accessibility software to use Keynote GOLD Multimedia are given in
the next section.


General Installation Information

  a) The installation program has built-in wavefile prompts for
     main actions. If a screen reader and existing synthesizer
     are present when installing Keynote GOLD Multimedia, the
     wavefiles and screen reader speech may conflict with each
     other. If this happens, use the screen reader to read the
     messages displayed in the installer screen currently being
     displayed.
  b) To repeat the built-in prompt for any installer screen,
     press Alt-Tab to switch to a different Window then press
     Alt-Tab again to switch back to the installer.

Installing Keynote GOLD Multimedia Under Windows 95

  a) Place Keynote Gold Multimedia Disk 1 in drive A:.
  b) Click on Start, then Run.
  c) In the Run dialog, type A:INSTALL then click OK.
  d) When the welcome message is spoken, press I to install and
     follow the spoken instructions.
  e) The installation procedure changes SYSTEM.INI. Each time 
     Keynote GOLD Multimedia is installed, a backup of SYSTEM.INI 
     is made as SYSTEM.BK1, SYSTEM.BK2, etc. up to SYSTEM.BK9, 
     where SYSTEM.BK1 is the most recent backup and SYSTEM.BK2 the 
     next most recent, etc. To restore the most recently backed up 
     file, copy SYSTEM.BK1 over SYSTEM.INI.

Installing Keynote GOLD Multimedia Under Windows 3.1 or
Windows 3.11

  a) Place Keynote Gold Multimedia Disk 1 in drive A:.
  b) From the File menu in Windows Program Manager, select Run.
  c) In the Run dialog, type A:INSTALL then click OK.
  d) When the welcome message is spoken, press I to install and
     follow the spoken instructions.
  e) To avoid conflicts with using the Sound Card on Windows 3.1
     and Windows 3.11 start-up, the installation program disables
     the Windows start-up sound. Do not enable the Windows
     start-up sound manually as this will prevent Keynote GOLD
     Multimedia from loading.
  f) The installation procedure changes WIN.INI, SYSTEM.INI and
     CONTROL.INI. Each time Keynote GOLD Multimedia is installed,
     a backup of <filename>.INI is made as <filename>.BK1,
     <filename>.BK2, etc. up to <filename>.BK9, where
     <filename>.BK1 is the most recent backup and <filename>.BK2
     the next most recent, etc. To restore the most recently
     backed up file, copy <filename>.BK1 over <filename>.INI.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR APPLICATIONS USING THE SSIL INTERFACE

If your application uses the SSIL interface to access Keynote
synthesizers, then you must make sure that you are using the
latest version of the Keynote SSIL driver. Check the date of the
copy of KEYNOTE.DLL in your screen reader directory. If it is
older than the copy of KEYNOTE.DLL in the \KEYNOTE directory of
Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1, then you must update your copy.
If you have previously edited KEYNOTE.INI to change the behaviour
of your synthesizer, then first rename KEYNOTE.INI to KEYNOTE.OLD.
Copy KEYNOTE.DLL, KEYNOTE.INI and READ.ME from Keynote GOLD
Multimedia Disk 1 to your screen reader directory. Transfer any
changes you have made to KEYNOTE.OLD to the new version of
KEYNOTE.INI. Refer to READ.ME for more information about the
Keynote SSIL driver. The latest version of the Keynote SSIL
driver can also be downloaded from our web site (see the top of
this file for the URL of our web site).


GENERAL

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,
     Keynote GOLD SA or Keynote GOLD PC and you know that your
     screen reader uses the SSIL interface, then make sure you are
     using the latest version of the Keynote SSIL driver as
     described above and restart your computer. If your original
     synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard, eject it before
     restarting your computer.
  c) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard and
     your screen reader does not use the SSIL interface, simply
     eject your VoiceCard and restart your computer.
  d) Otherwise, reinstall your screen reader and when asked for
     the model of synthesizer, select Keynote Multimedia or
     Keynote VoiceCard. Or, if your screen reader uses the SSIL
     interface, enter Keynote and insert Keynote GOLD Multimedia
     Disk 1.


KEYSOFT

  Under Windows 95

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,
     simply eject the VoiceCard and restart KeySoft.
  c) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD SA, Keynote
     GOLD PC or DECtalk synthesizer, locate the KeySoft shortcut
     on the Windows Desktop or locate the KS.EXE filename using
     Windows Explorer, right click on the shortcut or filename and
     select Properties. Select the Program tab and change the
     command line from

       <Directory path>\KS.EXE

     to

       <Directory path>\KS.EXE S=V

     Then restart KeySoft.
  d) If you are uncomfortable changing the Properties of KS.EXE,
     you can simply uninstall KeySoft and reinstall it with
     Keynote GOLD Multimedia running. Don't forget to uninstall
     KeySoft before reinstalling otherwise you will lose one of
     your installs.

  Under Windows 3.1 or Windows 3.11

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,
     simply eject the VoiceCard and restart KeySoft.
  c) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD SA, Keynote
     GOLD PC or DECtalk synthesizer, use the PIF Editor located in
     the Main group to edit KS.PIF and add S=V to the Optional
     Parameters entry. KS.PIF is located in the KEYNOTE directory.
     Then restart KeySoft.
  d) If you are uncomfortable editing KS.PIF, you can simply
     uninstall KeySoft and reinstall it with Keynote GOLD
     Multimedia running. Don't forget to uninstall KeySoft before
     reinstalling it otherwise you will lose one of your installs.


WINDOW-EYES 2.1

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard, you
     can simply eject the VoiceCard and restart Window-Eyes.
     Alternatively, you can carry on and set up Window-Eyes to use
     its Keynote Multimedia driver, which may give you better
     responsiveness than using the VoiceCard driver.
  c) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD SA, Keynote
     GOLD PC or something else, pop up the Windows-Eyes Control
     Panel using Alt-Tab or pressing Ctrl-\. Go to the File menu
     and select Synthesizer Selection. This will give you a list
     of all synthesizers supported by Window-Eyes. When you have
     selected the Keynote Multimedia synthesizer and exited the
     dialog, Window-Eyes will immediately switch to using that
     synthesizer.


WINDOW-EYES 2.0

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,
     simply eject the VoiceCard and restart Window-Eyes.
  c) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD SA, Keynote
     GOLD PC or something else, use a text editor like Notepad or
     WordPad to edit the file WINEYES.INI in the WINEYES
     directory on your hard drive. Near the top of the file in the
     [driver] section will be a line like:

       drivername=c:\wineyes\wenotesa.dll

     Edit this line to read:

       drivername=c:\wineyes\wekmm.dll

     Edit the line beginning driverpath in the same section to
     read:

       driverpath=c:\windows\system\kngmml.exe

     If a line beginning driverpath is not present, add the above
     line. Copy the driver file wekmm.dll from the WINEYES
     directory on Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 to the WINEYES
     directory on your hard drive.
  d) Restart Window-Eyes.
  e) If you are uncomfortable editing WINEYES.INI, you can simply
     reinstall Window-Eyes specifying the VoiceCard when asked
     which synthesizer you want to use.


JFW 3.0

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,
     Keynote GOLD SA or Keynote GOLD PC and you want to continue
     using the SSIL interface for Keynote GOLD Multimedia, then
     make sure you are using the latest version of the Keynote
     SSIL driver as described above and restart JFW 3.0. If your
     original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard, eject it
     before restarting JFW 3.0. Alternatively, you can carry on
     and set up JFW 3.0 to use its Keynote Multimedia Software
     driver, which may give you better responsiveness than using
     the SSIL driver and will allow you to switch between
     synthesizers from within JFW 3.0.
  c) To keep your original synthesizer's settings and be able to
     switch between synthesizers from within JFW 3.0, you can
     install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as your primary synthesizer
     and your original synthesizer as your secondary synthesizer.
     To do this, reinstall JFW 3.0. When asked which type of
     installation you would like, select Custom Installation. You
     will then be prompted to select up to three synthesizers.
     Select Keynote Multi Media Software first, then select your
     original synthesizer as your second synthesizer. If your
     original synthesizer is a Keynote SA, PC or VoiceCard, you
     must also make a change to KEYNOTE.INI in your JFW30
     directory. Make sure you are using the latest version of the
     Keynote SSIL driver as described above then, in the [SSIL]
     section of KEYNOTE.INI, add the line SynthType=GoldPC,
     SynthType=GoldSA or SynthType=GoldVC respectively. To switch
     between synthesizers in JFW 3.0, press INS+J to open the JAWS
     window and select the Change Synthesizer option from the
     Language menu. Select Keynote Multimedia Software and JFW 3.0
     will start using this synthesizer immediately. You may also
     have to select Global from the Voices menu to adjust the
     speech synthesizer characteristics.
  d) If you want to set up JFW 3.0 manually to use Keynote GOLD
     Multimedia as your primary synthesizer, use a text editor
     like Notepad or WordPad to edit JFW.INI in the JFW30
     directory. This file will contain a section called
     [Synthesizers] that will look something like this:

       [Synthesizers]
       Synth1Name=keynote
       Synth1LongName=Keynote
       Synth1Port=UNKNOWNUNKNOWN
       Synth1Driver=SSIL

     Change the 1 in these lines to 2 and add four more lines as
     follows:

       Synth1Name=kngmm
       Synth1LongName=Keynote Multi Media Software
       Synth1Port=UNKNOWNUNKNOWN
       Synth1Driver=kngmm

     If you already have a secondary synthesizer set-up, change
     the 1 in the lines describing your original synthesizer to 3
     to set your original synthesizer as your third synthesizer.
     If your original synthesizer is a Keynote SA, PC or VoiceCard,
     you must also make a change to KEYNOTE.INI in the JFW30
     directory. Make sure you are using the latest version of the
     Keynote SSIL driver as described above then, in the [SSIL]
     section of KEYNOTE.INI, add the line SynthType=GoldPC,
     SynthType=GoldSA or SynthType=GoldVC respectively. Restart
     JFW 3.0 and Keynote Multimedia Software will now be available
     by selecting the Change Synthesizer option from the Language
     menu.
  e) As improvements are made to the Keynote Multimedia Software
     driver, the version supplied on your JFW 3.0 installation
     disks may become out-of-date. In addition, versions of
     JFW 3.0 earlier than 3.00.82 were shipped with only one of
     two driver files needed for early versions of the Keynote
     GOLD Multimedia Software driver (later versions only require
     one file). Make sure that you are using the most up-to-date
     version of the Keynote Multimedia Software driver by
     comparing the date on the file KNGMM.JLS in the JFW3
     directory on Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 with the date of
     KNGMM.JLS in the JFW30 directory on your hard drive. If the
     copy of KNGMM.JLS on Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 is more
     up-to-date than the copy on your hard drive, copy this file
     into the JFW30 directory on your hard drive. The latest
     version of KNGMM.JLS can also be downloaded from our web site
     (see the top of this file for the URL of our web site).
  f) Versions of JFW 3.0 earlier than 3.00.82 were shipped with
     the wrong version of KEYNOTE.INI (the control file for the
     Keynote GOLD SSIL driver). If you want to use the SSIL
     interface with a version of JFW 3.0 earlier than 3.00.82,
     you must copy KEYNOTE.INI from the KEYNOTE directory of
     Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 into the JFW30 directory on
     your hard drive. In addition, make sure you are using the
     latest version of the Keynote SSIL driver as described above.


JFW 2.0

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,
     Keynote GOLD SA or Keynote GOLD PC, then make sure you are
     using the latest version of the Keynote SSIL driver as
     described above and restart JFW 2.0. If your original
     synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard, eject it before
     restarting JFW 2.0.
  c) Otherwise, reinstall JFW 2.0 and when asked for the model of
     synthesizer, enter Keynote. Note, JFW 2.0 will install the
     version of Keynote SSIL driver that was available when your
     copy of JFW 2.0 was shipped. You must make sure you are using
     the latest version of the Keynote SSIL driver as described
     above.


ASAW

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,
     Keynote GOLD SA or Keynote GOLD PC, then make sure you are
     using the latest version of the Keynote SSIL driver as
     described above and restart ASAW. If your original
     synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard, eject it before
     restarting ASAW.
  c) Otherwise, reinstall ASAW and when asked for the model of
     synthesizer, enter Keynote. Alternatively, reinstall ASAW
     with Keynote on the command line, i.e. SETUP KEYNOTE. Note,
     ASAW will install the version of Keynote SSIL driver that was
     available when your copy of ASAW was shipped. You must
     make sure you are using the latest version of the Keynote
     SSIL driver as described above.


AN OPEN BOOK

  a) Install Keynote GOLD Multimedia as described above.
  b) If your original synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard,

     synthesizer is a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard, eject it before
     restarting An Open Book.
  c) Otherwise, reinstall An Open Book and when asked for the
     model of synthesizer, enter Keynote. Note, An Open Book will
     install the version of Keynote SSIL driver that was available
     when your copy of An Open Book was shipped. You must make
     sure you are using the latest version of the Keynote SSIL
     driver as described above. If, when you select Keynote, An
     Open Book asks you to insert your synthesizer driver disk,
     insert Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1.

     Bridge. First restart your computer in MS-DOS mode. Then
     reinstall Window Bridge using the command INSTALL 0 VC95.
     Finally, restart your computer.



5. CHOICE OF LANGUAGE
=====================

This section applies only to the multilingual version of Keynote
GOLD Multimedia.

During installation of Keynote GOLD Multimedia, its default
language is set to match your Windows language. You can change
this to be any of the six available languages.

To change the default language of Keynote GOLD Multimedia, edit
the file KNSYNTHS.INI which is in the Windows directory, usually
C:\WINDOWS. Using a text editor such as Notepad, find the section
headed "[All]", and in this section find the line beginning
"DefaultLanguage=". Change the language name at the end of this
line to the name of the default language you prefer. Then check
that this language name is also included in the line beginning
"Languages=". Comment lines (beginning with ";") in KNSYNTHS.INI
list the names of the available languages.

The files for all six Keynote GOLD languages are copied onto your
hard disk during installation but you can select which ones will
be loaded into memory. By not loading unwanted languages into
memory, you can reduce the usage of memory and not have to cycle
through unwanted languages when you change the current language
in your accessibility programs.

To change the languages that Keynote GOLD Multimedia loads into
memory, edit the file KNSYNTHS.INI in the Windows directory using
a text editor such as Notepad. Find the section headed "[All]",
and in this section find the line beginning "Languages=".
Following the "=" on this line is a list of language names. Remove
language names from the list, or add them to the list, until the
list includes only the languages that you want to have loaded into
memory. Comment lines (beginning with ";") in KNSYNTHS.INI list
the names of the available languages.



6. HOW TO GIVE FEEDBACK
=======================

If you have any comments or questions regarding this exiting new
product, we would love to hear from you.

Please forward your email to feedback@pulsedata.com



7. CHECKING YOUR SOFTWARE VERSION AND SERIAL NUMBER
===================================================

If you need to ask your distributor for support with Keynote GOLD
Multimedia, you will need to provide its version number and serial
number. Similarly, if you wish to give feedback or report a bug,
this information will also be required.

To get this information, run the Keynote GOLD Multimedia loader
program, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KNGMML.EXE. This will display the
Keynote GOLD Multimedia loader dialog box, which contains the
version number and serial number. To have this information spoken
to you, click the "Speak" button. To minimise the dialog box,
click the "OK" button. To hide the dialog box so that it does not
appear on the taskbar or when you press Alt-Tab, click the "Hide"
button". To unload Keynote GOLD Multimedia, click the "Unload"
button then click "Yes" in the warning box that appears.
WARNING. If you unload Keynote GOLD Multimedia, speech will be
disabled until you re-load Keynote GOLD Multimedia by running
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KNGMML.EXE again.



8. COPY PROTECTION
==================

Keynote GOLD Multimedia has built-in copy protection that will not
affect your normal use of the program. It prevents usable copies
of the program being made, except by installing it from the master
installation disks.

The Keynote GOLD Multimedia installation disk 1 contains three
authorization keys enabling the software to be installed up to
three times. When transferring Keynote GOLD Multimedia to another
computer it is important that it first be uninstalled, restoring
the key to the installation disk 1, before installing it onto the
new computer. An option is provided in the install program for
uninstalling Keynote GOLD Multimedia. For instructions, see below.

To check how many authorization keys are remaining on your
installation disks, insert installation disk 1 into drive A: and
run the program A:EVSHOW. When prompted, make sure that A: is
selected. The number of authorization keys remaining and the
serial number of your software will be displayed.

EVSHOW can also be used to check if an authorization key is
present on your hard drive. Insert installation disk 1 into drive
A: and run the program A:EVSHOW. When prompted, select C:\. The
number of authorization keys present on your hard drive and the
serial number of your software will be displayed. If other
programs that use the same copy protection (such as JAWS for
Windows) are installed on your computer, their authorization keys
might be displayed at the same time.

Installing Keynote GOLD Multimedia twice to one hard disk does not
use up a second key. This allows Keynote GOLD Multimedia to be
installed for dual-boot installations of Windows 95 and Windows
3.1 or 3.11 using only one key, provided the two installations of
Windows are on the same hard disk. To do this, install Keynote
GOLD Multimedia in one version of Windows, then install it again
in the other version of Windows. One key will authorise the use of
both copies.

Be sure to uninstall Keynote GOLD Multimedia before upgrading or
changing basic hardware in your computer such as hard disks, the
CPU, the motherboard, or disk controller or video adapter cards.
Re-install Keynote GOLD Multimedia after the new hardware is
installed. Otherwise an authorization key may be lost. If you do
lose a key during a hardware upgrade, your distributor can help you
to replace the key.



9. UNINSTALLING KEYNOTE GOLD MULTIMEDIA
=======================================

To make uninstalling Keynote Gold Multimedia for transferring to
another computer easy, an uninstall program is provided on the
Keynote GOLD Multimedia installation disk.

Uninstalling Keynote Gold Multimedia From Windows 95

  a) Place the Keynote Gold Multimedia disk in drive A:.
  b) Click on Start, then Run.

     in the Windows directory and remove KNGMML.EXE from the
     load= line of the [windows] section. Also edit SYSTEM.INI in
     the Windows directory and remove the line device=VKNGMMD.386
     from the [386enh] section. Restart Windows and, using Windows
     File Manager, delete all of the following files from the 
     Windows System directory if they are present there:
       KNGMM.DLL, KNGMML.EXE, VKNGMMD.386, VKNGMMD.VXD,
       KGMTTS.DLL, KGMENG.DLL, KGMDUT.DLL, KGMFRN.DLL,
       KGMGRM.DLL, KGMITL.DLL, KGMSPN.DLL, KNMML.DLL,
       KNMMLOAD.DLL.
     If Windows tells you that some of these files are in use,
     you may have to restart your computer in MS-DOS to delete
     the files.
     IMPORTANT. Manually uninstalling Keynote GOLD Multimedia
     will not restore the authorization key to the installation
     disk.
  e) Optional. If you want to re-enable the Windows start-up
     sound, go to Control Panel in the Main group. Select the
     Sound program and set the Windows Start event to your
     preferred sound file (usually chimes.wav).

11. NEW AND CHANGED BEHAVIOR IN THIS RELEASE
============================================

If you are upgrading from Keynote GOLD Multimedia version 1.13 or
earlier, you will find that this new release of KNGMM behaves
differently in a few ways from your previous version. The most
important changes are listed here.

1. The maximum speech speed of Keynote GOLD Multimedia has been
increased by about 35 percent. If your speaking accessibility
programs are set to speak at or near the fastest speed, they will
now speak a lot faster then before. You may wish to reduce their
speed settings.

2. Keynote GOLD Multimedia now loads earlier during the Windows
start-up process under Windows 95 and Windows 98. This allows it to
be used with early-loading screen readers to read the Windows
network log-in dialogs. It has the side-effect, though, of
suppressing the normal Windows start-up sound.



12. KNOWN PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
================================

Like all software, Keynote GOLD Multimedia has a few bugs that
could not be fixed in time for the current release. We are
continuing to fix the bugs and, when available, upgrades for the
purpose of bug fixing will be posted on our web site for
downloading (see the top of this file for the URL of our web
site).

This section lists potential problems and solutions to the
problems, under the following headings:

INSTALLING AND UNINSTALLING KEYNOTE GOLD MULTIMEDIA
STARTING AND STOPPING WINDOWS OR WINDOWS PROGRAMS
OPERATION WITH JAWS FOR WINDOWS
GENERAL OPERATION
OPERATION WITH DOS PROGRAMS


INSTALLING AND UNINSTALLING KEYNOTE GOLD MULTIMEDIA

PROBLEM. Installation procedure stops and speaks "Installation
error. Press ENTER to continue."
CAUSE. There is not enough space on the Keynote GOLD Multimedia
installation diskettes to store spoken error messages for specific
errors. Instead the installer speaks a general error message and
displays a full error message in writing in a dialog box.
ACTION. If possible, use your screen-reader to read the full error
message. Otherwise, request sighted help to read the error message.
It will describe the error and it may tell you how to fix the
error.

PROBLEM. Installation procedure exits without restarting Windows,
and Keynote GOLD Multimedia does not load automatically at the end
of the install.
CAUSE. The Keynote GOLD Multimedia installer may be unable to
restart Windows for various reasons, such as another program
refusing to shut down.
ACTION. Manually shut down and restart Windows. Keynote GOLD
Multimedia should load and run normally.

PROBLEM. Installation procedure restarts the computer and the
computer accesses the diskette drive and hangs.
CAUSE. On some computers the installation procedure reboots the
computer, instead of just restarting Windows as it is intended to.
If this happens the computer attempts to boot from the Keynote
GOLD Multimedia diskette, which is not a bootable diskette.
ACTION. Eject the diskette from the diskette drive, press the
spacebar or the ENTER key, and the computer should restart normally.

PROBLEM. Installation procedure hangs when accessing the diskette
drive, and when the computer is restarted an error message
appears: "Program is not authorized to run from this drive".
CAUSE. On a few recent models of PC, the Keynote GOLD Multimedia
installer hangs when reading the authorization key from diskette
when running under Windows 95.
ACTION. If you have not already done so, run the Keynote GOLD
Multimedia installer and select Install. When the installation
process hangs, restart Windows 95 into Command Prompt Only mode,
or restart the computer from an MS-DOS boot diskette. Then use the
EVMOVE.EXE program on Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 to manually
move an authorization key from the diskette drive to the root
directory of the hard drive that Windows is installed on (this is
normally drive C:). For example, enter the command
    A:\EVMOVE A: C:\
then type Y for Yes when prompted for confirmation. When the
MS-DOS command prompt returns, restart you computer. Keynote GOLD
Multimedia should load and run normally.

PROBLEM. Uninstall procedure does not remove Keynote GOLD
Multimedia from the computer.
CAUSE. In some circumstances the uninstaller may not delete the
Keynote GOLD Multimedia files from the Windows system directory
(for instance if the files are write-protected). A screen reader
program that is configured to load Keynote GOLD Multimedia will
then still be able to do so when Windows restarts.
ACTION. Manually delete the Keynote GOLD Multimedia files as
described in section 9 of this Readme file, "Uninstalling Keynote
GOLD Multimedia".


STARTING AND STOPPING WINDOWS OR WINDOWS PROGRAMS

PROBLEM. After starting Windows, Keynote GOLD Multimedia does not 
speak and the computer runs unusually slowly or locks up.
CAUSE. Some Windows sound device drivers (for example the Toshiba
voice modem waveform driver in the Toshiba 480-series laptop PCs) 
are buggy and incorrectly report their capabilities to Keynote GOLD 
Multimedia. Keynote GOLD Multimedia then mistakenly chooses to use
a waveform device that cannot output Keynote speech.
ACTION. Try making one or more of the following changes to the 
[All] section in the KNSYNTHS.INI file, then restart Windows. 
(Comments in the KNSYNTHS.INI file describe the things you are 
changing in more detail.)
(a) Add the following line.
  OutputTestDelayMs=5000
If this doesn't work, try increasing the number on the line to 10000.
(b) If your computer has a voice modem, try adding the following line.
  OutputAvoidDeviceName="modem"

PROBLEM. After installing Keynote GOLD Multimedia, the Windows
start-up sound no longer plays.
CAUSE. This is normal behavior. In Windows 3.1 and 3.11 the Windows
start-up sound is disabled by the Keynote GOLD Multimedia installer
to allow Keynote GOLD Multimedia to load.  In Windows 95 and
Windows 98 the Windows start-up sound is left enabled, but Keynote
GOLD Multimedia loads early enough in the Windows start-up process
to pre-empt the Windows start-up sound.

PROBLEM. Keynote GOLD Multimedia fails to load under Windows 3.1
or 3.11, displaying an error message including the text "Failure
opening sound playback. Cannot open sound playback device...".
There may also be "Insufficient memory to run this application"
error messages.
CAUSE. If the Windows start-up sound is enabled in Windows 3.1 or
3.11, a conflict for the sound card prevents Keynote GOLD
Multimedia from loading.
ACTION. Disable the Windows start-up sound. You can do this
automatically by reinstalling Keynote GOLD Multimedia. To do it
manually, start Control Panel, select Sound, and set the Windows
Start sound file to <none>.


OPERATION WITH JAWS FOR WINDOWS

PROBLEM. After installing JFW 3.00.75 to run with Keynote GOLD
Multimedia (choosing "Keynote Multi Media Software" during
installation), JFW does not find Keynote GOLD Multimedia and does
not load.
CAUSE. JFW 3.00.75 shipped with incomplete support for Keynote GOLD
Multimedia.
ACTION. Copy the file KNGMM.JLS from the \JFW3 directory of
Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 to the JFW directory (usually
C:\JFW30), then restart JFW. Or, upgrade JFW to version 3.00.83 or
later.

PROBLEM. After installing JFW 3.00.75 to run with Keynote GOLD
Multimedia (choosing "Keynote" during installation), JFW does not
find Keynote GOLD Multimedia and does not load.
CAUSE. JFW 3.00.75 shipped with an incorrect INI file for the
Keynote SSIL driver.
ACTION. Copy the files KEYNOTE.DLL and KEYNOTE.INI from the
\KEYNOTE directory of Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 to the JFW
directory (usually C:\JFW30), then restart JFW. Or, upgrade JFW to
version 3.00.83 or later.

PROBLEM. JFW 3 starts up in a language different from the Keynote
GOLD Multimedia default language.
CAUSE. This bug is present in the JFW 3.00.90 and 3.00.92 betas.
Whenever any change is made under the JFW Voices menu, the current
language when the change is made is saved in JFW's default
configuration file for the voice that is being changed. Thereafter
JFW selects that language for that voice when it starts.
ACTION. In the JFW Languages menu, choose Synthesizer Language and
select the language you want JFW to start up in. Then in the Voices
menu choose Global and make any change. This updates JFW's start-up
languages to the current language.

PROBLEM. When using JFW 3 to screen-read in a DOS box on a Toshiba
laptop, the arrow keys behave as though the Shift key was held
down, i.e. they produce numbers rather than moving the cursor.
CAUSE. This appears to be a bug in JFW.
ACTION. Hold the Shift key down when using the arrow keys.

PROBLEM. While reading text with JFW 3 continuous read (Insert+
Down Arrow), the speech may sometimes stop spontaneously.
ACTION. Press the speech cut-off key (Control) once or a few
times, then press Insert+Down Arrow to start reading again.

PROBLEM. When a word is spelled with the JFW 2.0 Spell Word key,
there are sometimes pauses of up to several seconds between
speaking each letter.
CAUSE. This is a bug in JFW 2.0 which affects SSIL synthesizers.
It has been fixed in JFW 3.0.


GENERAL OPERATION

PROBLEM. Speech is quiet compared to other multimedia sounds.
CAUSE. This may be due to use of an old version of the Keynote SSIL
driver. Versions earlier than 1.3.3 (28 July 1997) treat Keynote
GOLD Multimedia like the VoiceCard and set its initial volume to
less than the maximum.
ACTION. Set the speech volume to maximum in your accessibility
programs. Or, copy KEYNOTE.DLL and KEYNOTE.INI from the \KEYNOTE
directory on Keynote GOLD Multimedia Disk 1 into the directory
where your present KEYNOTE.DLL is installed, then restart Windows.

PROBLEM. Changes to the [All] section of KEYNOTE.INI do not affect
the operation of Keynote GOLD Multimedia.
CAUSE. From version 1.13.03, Keynote GOLD Multimedia's INI file
name has been changed from KEYNOTE.INI to KNSYNTHS.INI. This
change prevents the INI file being overwritten by the An Open Book
version 3 installer.
ACTION. Make your changes in KNSYNTHS.INI instead of KEYNOTE.INI.
If you are not using any earlier version of Keynote GOLD
Multimedia you may delete the [All] section from KEYNOTE.INI.

PROBLEM. Clicking sounds may occur when speech is silenced by
pressing the "Silence" or "Cut-off" key, or on each keypress while
typing.
CAUSE. We believe that the clicking is caused by the Windows
waveform drivers. It affects all multimedia speech synthesizers.
ACTION. No work-around is known at present.

PROBLEM. The demonstration version of Keynote GOLD Multimedia can
time out without warning the user, if the user is away from the
computer when the fifteen-minute evaluation period expires.
ACTION. Be aware that this can happen and that Windows must be
restarted to continue the evaluation.

PROBLEM. Speech gets "stuck" and repeats rapidly and continuously
on some Toshiba laptop computers (e.g. the Satellite Pro 400CDT), 
if the floppy disk drive is accessed while the computer is 
speaking. The computer has to be hard-reset to stop the repeating.
CAUSE. This is caused by a design flaw in the DMA hardware of 
certain models of Toshiba laptop computer introduced shortly 
before Toshiba began using the PCI bus in their laptop computers. 
The design flaw affects all multimedia waveform playback, not just 
Keynote GOLD Multimedia.
ACTION. There is no known cure or work-around, except to ensure 
that the floppy disk drive is never read from or written to while 
any sound is being played by the computer.

PROBLEM. Speech gets "stuck" and repeats rapidly and continuously.
CAUSE. This is the classic symptom of a resource conflict
involving the computer's sound hardware. It affects all multimedia
waveform playback, not just Keynote GOLD Multimedia.
ACTION. Check for a conflict of IRQ or DMA channels between any of
the hardware and driver software installed in your computer. For
Toshiba laptop computers, also see the previous problem and 
solution note.

PROBLEM. Speech gets "stuck" briefly and repeats rapidly once or
a few times.
CAUSE. This sometimes happens in Windows 95 when the computer
becomes especially busy accessing the hard disk. It is normal 
behaviour in Windows 95 and it affects all multimedia waveform 
recording or playback, not just Keynote GOLD Multimedia.
ACTION. Try defragmenting your hard disks by running the 
Windows 95 "Disk Defragmenter". (Choose Start, Programs, 
Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter, and in Disk 
Defragmenter's Advanced controls choose Full defragmentation.)

PROBLEM. I have a Keynote GOLD VoiceCard and I have just installed
Keynote GOLD Multimedia. Now my speech programs never find the
VoiceCard in Windows 95/98, even if the VoiceCard is plugged in 
when I start Windows.
CAUSE. In Windows 95 and Windows 98, Keynote GOLD Multimedia now
installs by default to load early in the Windows start-up process.
It loads earlier than the VoiceCard driver.  Speech programs
searching for the VoiceCard normally find and use whichever one 
of Keynote GOLD Multimedia or the VoiceCard driver loads first.
ACTION. In the [All] section of KNSYNTHS.INI, add an entry
Int2FMultiplexSkip=1. This allows speech programs to find the 
VoiceCard driver first even when Keynote GOLD Multimedia loads
first.


OPERATION WITH DOS PROGRAMS

PROBLEM. When MasterTouch is used, sometimes exiting and returning
to Windows or ALT-TABBING to Windows causes the computer to lock
up. Sometimes, the behaviour of MasterTouch is unstable.
CAUSE. MasterTouch expects a touch-tablet interface to be present,
but Keynote GOLD Multimedia does not provide one.
ACTION. We do not recommend the use of MasterTouch with Keynote 
GOLD Multimedia.
