Hi Mike, Installation of jaws 8 and higher uninstalls the viavoice application which, I was told, was a sappi 4 voice, that Openbook 7 and lower and version 10 and lower of Kurzweil, used and this is a known fact, for which I can vouch.
So probably the said jaws installation uninstalls, or disables, the other sappi 4 voices too. I overcame this hassle with openbook 7, by uninstalling it and re-installing it after having installed jaws and it happens with every new installation of the later jaws versions. It may be the installation of the particular later version of elloquence, rather than jaws, as I know from the Kurzweil list that the other screenreader users also had a conflict with the version of elloquence that earlier jaws and window eyes used, but, it definitely has that effect with jaws.

I think that I misspoke when asking about SAPI 4 voices because what is happening is when I want to have Jaws detect SAPI 4 voices in the Jaws context menu, all of the sudden Jaws goes quiet/ shuts down & I have to start Jaws again with a key. Also, in another application when I select to use the SAPI 4 synthesizer, I get a message stating that SAPI 4 cannot be loaded. I don't know when this problem started, but I have been always been able to use the SAPI 4 synthesizer in the past. Any & all advice on what might have happened or how it can be corrected will be greatly & gratefully appreciated. Thanks again. Take care.

I came in at Jaws 6 so do not know what happened before then. Jaws 8 did have a CD with Scansoft realspeak Sapi 5 Voices before the development of real solo direct. Sapi 4 voices normally came with other applications or were bought specifically as stand alone synthesisers. For example I bought the Natural voices synthesiser which installed in both Sapi 4 and 5 versions at the same time. If I wanted to use the Sapi 4 version I needed to run Sapi 4 detect on Jaws. Before Jaws 10 the ability to group Sapi 4 voices in a synthesiser was useful as you could create a sort of profile of a set of Natural Voices by switching to the Natural voices synthesiser . If you have jaws 10 or 11 you do not need to do this because of the ability to create as many voice Profiles as you like.
