Hi Chris; However I missed it but, I did miss this email in this thread and no way was I implying that the responses of *anyone* who replied to this thread didn't have the necessary experience to deal with this issue! It was poor choice of wording on my behalf and I do apologize if my poor choice of words were taken personally by anyone else in the same way you seem to have taken them. You and the others who have responded to this thread have all taught me something or another in trying to accomplish this task, for I have never played around with trying to change default voices / synthesizers. Again, my apologies to you and other members of list to whom I have offended. Take care.

Well, I do have experience. I told you exactly what to do. Go to your program files\freedom scientific\jaws\6.0 and look for jfw.ini. Open it with notepad, and look under the synths section. I don't know how to make my instructions any more "experienced" or detailed.
