Hi Danielle, I don't want to go too far off topic here, but I will say that NVDA supports a large number of software synthesizers besides Espeak which it comes with. If you are willing to put forward a little bit of money you can buy the Vocalizer voices for NVDA which will give you Daniel, Tom, Karen, Lee, and all the other voices you get for Jaws. I think it is like $99 for a Vocalizer license for NVDA which is not bad for a one time fee, and of course if the games support NVDA they can speak using your Vocalizer voices.
If you are looking for something more universal NVDA also supports all Sapi 5.x compatible voices. You can get something high quality like the Ivona voices which are a bit on the expensive side, or if you have Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 you can get a number of decent quality voices from Microsoft that work with NVDA as well. The point being if Espeak is the only reason holding you back from joining the NVDA crowd there are plenty of alternatives. You can spend a little money for better voices for NVDA and games and it won't cost you any more than the cost of a Jaws upgrade, and it is typically a one-time fee. Cheers!
