On second thought perhaps this is it? I don't have a Real Speak Solo voice installed but rather the SAPI 5 from Win7 OS. Do you think Jaws is not recognizing it as a full option for toggling a say all? If I set it in the Voice Profile I can use it as a default, it just does not change on the fly. Also I've got Real Speak Sapi voices from earlier Jaws which came on a CD, that ought install fine I'd thinnk.

The option is still alive and kicking.

Voice Adjustment
Say All Group Box
JAWS can immediately switch from one synthesizer, for example, Eloquence Software, to another, such as SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct, when using the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW). While the default Eloquence voice may be useful for reading and navigating short text such as prior or next line, sentence, or paragraph, it may not be the preferred voice for longer passages of text. The SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct voice chosen remains active during the Say All even as you fast forward, rewind, speed up, or slow down. However, when you stop the Say All, the Eloquence voice returns.

Use the following controls in the Say All group to set preferences for how the Say All command works.

Speech Synthesizer
Use this combo box to select the synthesizer used for Say All. Select either Default, SAPI 5, or RealSpeak Solo Direct. When using Default, all other controls in the Say All group are unavailable. Also, note that RealSpeak Solo Direct is only available if you have downloaded and installed a RealSpeak Solo Direct voice.

If the Say All synthesizer is Default, then either SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct will be used for an Alternate Say All (ALT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW). If either SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct is selected, the Default synthesizer is used for Alternate Say All.

Rate
Use this slider to select a comfortable speech rate for the Say All voice. PAGE DOWN and PAGE UP change the rate of speech by larger increments, while the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys make more gradual changes.

Punctuation
Use this list to set the punctuation level used by JAWS when the Say All voice speaks. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to select a punctuation level. The options available are None, Some, Most, which is the default, and All.

Person
The Person combo box lets you to select which SAPI 5 or RealSpeak Solo Direct synthesizer voice to use for Say All.

Pitch
The Pitch slider allows you to adjust the pitch for the currently selected voice. Note that some SAPI5 and RealSpeak Solo Direct synthesizers do not support pitch change like Eloquence and some other hardware and software synthesizers.

Volume
Use the slider to increase or decrease the Say All speech volume. The DOWN ARROW , LEFT ARROW, and PAGE DOWN keys decrease volume, and the UP ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, and PAGE UP keys increase volume.

OK
This button saves any changes made and then closes the Voice Adjustment dialog box. This button is not available when changes are made to any factory default voice profile template. You must use the Save As button to save any changes made to a factory template.

Save As
Choose this button to save your current voice settings as part of a voice profile. Type a name for your voice profile or select an existing profile from the list. If you select an existing profile, that profile's individual voice settings will be overwritten by the new settings when you choose OK.

Apply
Use this button to apply and save any changes made to the voice profile settings without exiting the Voice Adjustment dialog box.

Cancel
When you select this button, any changes you have made are discarded, and the Voice Adjustment dialog box closes.
