I have a jaws 8 disc somewhere around here, yes, but, does that have
something aside the voices installer I gotta run? I'm kind a confused.
I thought the real speak installer was basically all there was to it as
faras getting the voices to work.

If you have a JAWS8 CD, you could try installing the unlocked SAPI5 and
RealSpeak voices from it. there's also a problem with 32-bit braille
drivers, probably related to what you have so far found.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Real Speak voices question
OK, before anyone asks, let me throw this ball out of the way first. Yes,
I am aware of the solo direct voices. I know also how to install 'em,
but that isn't the point, in this case.
I am trying to install my sapi 5 version of the Ral Speak voices. I not
only wanna be able to use these with jfw, but I got some other programs
like Speak-on, as well as K1000, Kitchen's Inc games, etc. which are self
voicing that I wanna use them with. I can't do that with the solo direct
voices as they use their own propriatary module/driver/dll libraries.
Bottom line, it won't work. Anyway, so here is my question to you pc
geeks out there like myself. I just got an hp laptop last Wednesday.
It's running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Edition. So my question is,
when I ran the installer for the real speak voices, it said they'd not
run on a 64 bit OS. So, having said that, this leads me to actually two
questions.
The first question which probably is the obvious is: is there a way to
get around this, so that I can install the sapi version, and if not, can
I get a 64 bit version from fs of the old sapi formatted installer.
My second question is, maybe I'm completely all wet here, but I was under
the impression that anything 32 bit
architect would run on a 64 bit OS. Now, granted, I know for a fact! you
can't run a 64 bit OS on a 32 bit only capable motherboard, nor, can you
run x64 programs on a 32 bit OS. That's obvious. But I thought the
annalogy worked like this:
Say you have a 4 lane highway. OK, you may wind up only driving down 2!
of those lanes, but, the point is, you can! do it. You're not taking
over the whole highway, but, you're still able to drive down it. I hear
64 bit worked much the same way. You can! run 64 bit apps, or! 32 bit
apps on 64 bit
architect, but, on the other hand, don't try running 64 bit on a 32 bit
only capable OS/hardware system. am I not understanding this whole 32/64
bit thing correctly? Actually, I don't even get the difference, really
per sey. I know better graffics, as if that really matters to me, and
faster speed, supposedly, but I've honestly not seen much speed
difference between my old 32 bit xp machine and this 64 bit win7 machine.
Hmm, Chris ponders.
Anyway, let me know you all's suggestions and maybe someone also can fill
me in on the differences in 64 vs. 32 bit, and what can run where.
Thank you kindly.
Chris.
