Dear Michelle,
Did you install the voice you downloaded?
Simply hit "Enter" on the file, and it will install itself!
And Janie, never thought to download the "Australian " voices, thanks very
much!
I am going to get them now!
As some one wrote, the "price is right"!
With Best Regards,

Alan and Doris,
Thanks for this recommendation -- the voices are indeed fantastic, and the
price is sure right. :) I've downloaded one of the voices to try out, but
am
not sure what to do from here. I don't see the option showing up in the
voice profiles menu, for instance. Any further guidance would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hello Friends,
I have found the realspeak solo Direct voices that Freedom Scientific has
to offer absolutely free on their web site really fantastic.
You can download as many as you wish, and I have in my collection both the
American and English voices.
Once you adjust the speed and other options to your particular taste, I
think you will find them really great.
However for important work and such I still use Eloquence.

Before you decide to invest, check out the realspeak solo voices up on
fs's website. they are quite decent and are proprietary as in they work
only with jaws. you might find some that you like.

Hi all,
I'm sure this question will seem really basic, so my apologies in
advance,
but I've finally decided to investigate adding a more natural sounding
voice
to my array of speech profiles. I'm not exactly dissatisfied with
Eloquence,
but variety is the spice of life. I'm not that impressed with the SAPI
factory profile that's included with my Jaws 12 software, and I'm
mwondering
what exactly I need to do to procure other options. Am I right to assume
that it's best to stick to voices that are SAPI5 compatible? Is there a
prohibitive price to for such voices? Once I've settled on one, how do I
go
about installing it? Can I expect the same functionality as I experienced
with Eloquence?
Any help would be much appreciated.
All the best,
Michelle
