Hi Charles, No. The problem is with the Freedom Scientific installer for the voices. It detects what operating system you are running and if you are running an x64 version of Windows it will come up and tell you that this version of Windows is incompatible with the software, tells you to contact Freedom Scientific support for a compatible version of the software, and then bomb out of the install. Well, when I called Freedom Scientific for a replacement cd that was x64 compatible they told me to upgrade Jaws and Openbook and download the Real Speak Direct voices which does me absolutely no good as the Real Speak Direct voices won't work with my SAPI games. Plus since switching to NVDA I absolutely refuse to pay a king's fortune for access technology like Jaws.
Anyway, I probably could rewrite the installer, but then my butt would be in trouble for illegally redistributing the software just to fix Freedom Scientific's screw up. I'm pretty sure the voices themselves would work or could be made to work if I could just get past the blasted installer. Cheers!
