First of all, keep in mind your new voices are SAPI voices. So in the list
of voices in the WE control panel, scroll down to SAPI, then tab once, and
you should be in the list of available SAPI voices. Hopefully, your new
voices will show up here.
Secondly, sometimes a SAPI voice only can be activated in one software at a
time. It depends a bit on the exact construction of the voice and interface.
I have seen this with a few voices. In such a case, to use the voice in WE,
you will have to deactivate - or disable - the voice in TextAloud. Open the
TextAloud screen, and hit Alt-O, for options. Then the letter V, for voice
options. In the screen that opens, you have to first find your
manufacturer - like AT&T, NeoSpeech, Scansoft and so forth. Focused on your
manufacturer, hit Right arrow to expand. Then scroll down to the voice in
question. Tab over to the Disable button and hit Space bar. Then tab to OK,
and hit Enter.
Close TExtAloud altogether, and if nessary, try restarting WE. Then try to
see if your new voice will be listed in the synthesizer list, under SAPI
voices. If you have further questions as to the full set of steps on how to
disable the voice in TextAloud, contact me off-list. I then can open TA
here, and walk you through all details.

Subject: trying to use textaloud
Hi Gang,
I just installed textaloud from a cd and also another disc with a couple
of at&t voices. I hate to be so ignorant, but what do I do now? I
thought the new voices would show up in the list of synthesizers with the
other but it's not there. What am I missing? Windoweyes 7.4.1 and
windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks.
