I was not aware that NeoSpeech came with Jaws 8. Do you mean Real speak ? In any case the procedure for getting NeioSpeech and RealSpeak to be the Jaws voice is the same.
Insert J to open Jaws context menu if it is in the system tray or just alt tab to jaws if not. Go to Language on the menu bar. Then select Change Synthesiser. Then select SAPI 5. You then open the Options voice menu and first of all Global voices dialogue . Tab to the person combo box where all your SAPI 5 voices will be listed including Real Speak and NeoSpeech. There may be a delay as you move from one voice to another. This can be quite long on slower computers. You can then move onto individual voices dialogue to change further voices. If you really have NeoSpeech it the Voices may be called VW Paul and VW Kate. An odd feature is that initially this voice may play at a ludicrously slow rate but you can correct this in the same dialogue box. If anybody has tried to use AT&T Natural voices the rate can be so slow it is almost impossible to select this voice as it is unintelligible, I had to get my sighted daughter to adjust the rate for me to make the voice comprehensible. You may be able to avoid this problem by increasing the rate before voice selection - I have not tried this. Interestingly after experimenting with loads of voices I have in the end gone back to using Eloquence exclusively as it performs so much better with Jaws - especially at accelerated speeds.
