I have been a Dectalk user for over 20 years and I find these new voices
really really good.

Will do - thanks.
A good analogy - describes exactly how I feel about old Dectalk.
Will certainly check out the samples.

I think if you listen to the Vocalizer voices on a decent pair of headphones or
speakers, you'll find that they are better than DecTalk. Of course, some of
this is a matter of preference, but DecTalk always sounded to me like Sven
Jorgensen after a couple of glasses of Aquavit.

Hi Robert.
I started out with a similar opinion, and was advised by Doug that
there are royalties to be paid.
My grizzle was also that I felt that we should get these new voices as
part of the SMA, but again, royalties.
Paying for someone to produce something which we might like: a fact of
life.
I also felt that Raul's discussion of technology advances was a
reasonable approach.
I have not yet purchased the new voices, because I actually don't like
the sound of Dectalk, so unless quality is much better, I might bew
glad that I haven't paid for something, or been given something, which
I might not use.
Vaughan.

Dear Raul,
The only difference to me is that those of us who are not new users
are being punished for our loyalty over many years. I am not
complaining particularly - after all, I feel that I have received good
service from you over the years - but I do not see why new users
should get the advantage of receiving something free while the rest of
us have to pay for it.
Best regards,
Robert

Curtis, you say JFW gives the voices away? Hmm, that's interesting
considering their upgrades are more expensive, they charge you for
extra features of JFW to use, ETC. So, yes, on the surface they might
be free, but are they really free? That's like a store raising its
prices before having a sale. In any case, new users of Window-Eyes
from 8 and on will have them for free. So, what's the difference?

I was able to buy the voices using fire fox, but the application to
register the files is not a valid windows 32 bit application,
according to my system. I've downloaded it several times?
wow!
$39 for all the English voices is a good deal though JFW does give
the voices away. :) the same voices, in fact.

Hi,
Unable to listen to the sample voices. The combo-boxes keep
throwing me out.
Using WE8.0 and Internet Explorer 10.
Tried a combo-box on another site and it worked fine.
The site I was trying to listen to the voices was:
