I think that if you look on the Jaws User Program page there are utilities for repairing Sapi. It might be worth giving them a try.

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.
