Sometimes I forget Samantha is a vocalize. We had a network outage, so I'm goind to try and download more new voices.
Eric, when will languages be able to be auto-updated?

I agree, Eloquence is better at faster speeds. I have never truly liked the Vocalizer voices years ago and I still don't particularly care for them but Allison would be nice on the iPhone, although I have grown so used to Samantha that I can read anything with her now.

Hi Guys, I have installed the U.S. Vocalizer Expressive voices on my machine. I have used Ava a little and I don't think that I have ever heard a happier sounding synthetic voice, unlike Samantha, who always sounds a little mad. I wish that Ava was available for my iPhone. Overall though, for JAWS, I still prefer plain old Eloquence. I have used it for 15 years or so, ever sense they started packaging it with JAWS, and I have just gotten so use to it that it seems a little strange using anything else. The Eloquence voice itself sounds very robotic but I think that it does a better job at very high speeds and the pronunciation is a little better than many of these more natural sounding voices.

Allison, Ava, Smantha, and Tom are the U.S. voices. However, they are very expressive as was discussed in the latest FS cast as compared to previous versions. The direct version does not indicate caps by raising pitch like the expressive version. I am using Ava myself and am very happy with the response on my Windows 7 64 bit running both jaws and magic with 6 gigs of ram. I am not up on all the additional voices for other countries but I am impressed with all the vocalizer expressive voices out there for everyone already. I am also very happy with the first public beta so far. It's playing very well with Magic 12 and comes in handy on all these overcrowded web sites today. blind5sparrow For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
