My vote would be for VoiceWare voices, except that if for any reason I have to type using one I can outtype its ability to read out the characters and I never got it working well with Jaws. Did not spend a lot of time trying either.
I must say, however, when I heard new voices I was intrigued and then disappointed to discover they are just the same Solo voices I already have and have not been particularly fond of, Samantha, Tom and Jill, none of which make me want to start War and Peace on the computer!

Most of us just tolerate her. It has something to do, I'm told, with the amount of space allocated to her or something like that.

Sorry about that, I liked that voice as well. Try Samantha out, you need to turn down her volume a little but I find her to be very good also. > > Regards, > Eric > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of HHamit > Campos > Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 9:06 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] thoughts on the beta so far > > I've tried it too a little bit. Not the scrypt thing, but JAWS 14 it > self, it seems to be fine so far. The real test is to try it with Windows 8. Rick Harmon has done it, and he says it's fine. Mind you he's using the RTM, which I have too just haven't installed it yet. As for the voices, I'm disappointed in that they don't have the Vocalizer version of Jennifer. She was my favorite. I don't know who's to blame, is it FS for not getting it, or The other guys haven't made the Vocalizer version of Jenn yet. If you read this Eric, what's going on here my friend?
