There's already a solution. Although it's been so long since I used it I tested it and discovered a side-effect, which I can't remember if it's intentional or not. So I reported it to GW.

If you have a backup synthesizer assigned just hold down the left Shift key while rebooting or reloading Window-Eyes and that synthesizer will be activated.

The side-effect I discovered is that for some reason it changes App status from On to manual. So it's no big deal. Just use the Insert-7 App status rotor hot key to turn apps back on, or, open the Window-Eyes control panel, Alt-A Apps, App management, App status, and reset it to On.

Hth,

Hi,


i remmeber one time i switch to sapi 5 and choose what voices (broken
one) and then window eyes crashed. and when i restart my machine, window
eyes won't launch. i need to delete %appdata%\gw micro\window eyes
folder and start from scratch! maybe gw should fix it? if synthesizer
crash, window eyes switch automatically to espeak or back up synthesizer
chosen.

window-eyes lauch its settings and switch back to espeak. close nvda,
then switched to sapi5.
for future reference the command line switch is /sespeak

so you would type

wineyes /sespeak
