As Mike has already noted, Say All was abandoned. Personally, I wish it was still available for the very reasons you pointed out. Below, you will find some suggestions and detailed instructions.
First of all, the premium voice you downloaded is still there. However, it is listed under a different synthesizer. If you downloaded the voice from the Freedom Scientific web site, it is listed under the Vocalizer Expressive synthesizer. You can, as Mike mentioned, change to that voice by choosing it from the list. 1. While focused on the application you want to use, press INSERT+CONTROL+S 2. This command opens a list of voice profiles. The one you want is Vocalizer Expressive 3. After choosing the profile, tab to Okay and press Enter Now, if you would like that voice to be called up automatically when you switch to that application, you can do that. Here's an example of what I mean. If you are using Microsoft Word and you would like Ava Premium to do all of the reading in that environment, follow the steps below. 1. Press INSERT+J to open the Jaws interface 2. Choose the Options menu by typing ALT+O 3. Choose the Voice menu 4. Locate and press Enter on the Voice Adjustment option 5. Tab to the Profile list and choose Vocalizer Expressive 6. Tab past the Delete Profile and Language options 7. Tab to the Adjust Voice dialog and leave it set on All Contexts 8. Tab through the settings and adjust the voice to suit your personal needs 9. There are a couple of settings referring to Spell Rate and Upper Case Pitch. Avoid those 10. Tab to the Save As option and press Enter. Here, you can choose a different name for the profile and save the settings you have made. I usually create a profile named after the application I'm using. For example, in this scenario, I'd choose Microsoft Word. Type that in and press Enter. 1. Now open Microsoft Word or whatever word processor you are using 2. Press INSERT+CONTROL+S. Use your up and down arrows to choose your new profile 3. Note: There is an option to use your new profile as the Default. Don't do that unless you want that same voice used in every application or environment 4. After making your choice, tab to an option which asks you what profile is to be used for the word processor 5. Place focus on the new profile you have created 6. Tab to Okay and press Enter >From this point on, every time you open that application, the correct profile will be automatically chosen. There is an advantage to making a profile change on the fly. The change is temporary. You can choose another voice to edit the document. If you exit and reopen the application, the program will be loaded with the Default profile. I hope that this helps.

However, you can manually change to an alternative voice by pressing JAWSkey+s and choosing the voice profile you want before doing the say all. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jason Smith Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2015 03:24 To: jaws-users-list Subject: [JAWS-Users] using an alternate voice during say all Hi list, I am using Jaws16 on a Windows7 desktop. I downloaded one of the premium voices from the FS website. However, I am having trouble working out how to use the voice when doing a say all command in Jaws. I have tried the learning tutorials for Jaws, but not had any luck. I remember getting it to work a few years ago with an earlier version of Jaws. But don't seem to be able to work it out now. There also used to be a command, so you could switch between using the higher quality voice and using eloquence. Is that still possible?
