The following is from the What's New in JAWS 8.0 online help: Say All Command and SAPI 5 Voices
JAWS can immediately switch from its current Eloquence synthesized voice to a SAPI 5, RealSpeak Solo synthesized voice when using the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW). While the JAWS default Eloquence voice may be useful for reading and navigating short text such as prior or next line, sentence, or paragraph, it may not be the preferred voice for longer passages of text. The SAPI 5 voice offers a higher-quality sound, which makes reading using the Say All (INSERT+DOWN ARROW ) command a more pleasing experience. When using the new feature, the SAPI 5 voice remains active while you fast forward, rewind, speed up, slow down, or move using the Navigation Quick Keys during the Say All. However, when you use navigation functions such as Say Word and Say Paragraph, or when you use the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to read the previous or next sentence, or when you press the CTRL key to stop the Say All command, JAWS immediately switches back to the Eloquence voice. To choose a SAPI 5 synthesizer to use during the Say All, do the following: 1. From the Utilities menu, choose Configuration Manager. 2. From the Set Options menu, choose Say All Options. 3. In the Say All dialog, select the Use SAPI 5 During Say All checkbox. 4. Choose a SAPI 5 voice from the SAPI 5 Say All Voice combo box. 5. Adjust the SAPI 5 speech rate using the SAPI 5 Rate Amount slider. 6. Choose the amount of punctuation that JAWS announces using the SAPI 5 Say All Punctuation combo box. 7. Choose OK, and press CTRL+S to save your changes. Alternate Say All Command If you have the SAPI 5 Say All command enabled, this feature allows you to perform a Say All without engaging the SAPI 5, RealSpeak Solo voices. This may be useful if you do not want to hear a particular passage spoken in the SAPI 5 voice. The keystroke for Alternate Say All is ALT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW. RealSpeak Solo Speech Synthesizers Included with your package is the RealSpeak Solo, SAPI 5 synthesizer CD. It contains a variety of voices in several languages. To install these voices, insert the CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive. Then, follow the instructions to select which voices you want to install, and complete the installation.

I received my JAWS 8 CD today and installed my Real Speak voices. I couldn't find anything in the JAWS help about how to use these voices or how to activate them. Any help will be appreciated.
