I hope this isn't a superfluous post, but when I look over this thread, it's not clear to me that all three steps were taken once the voice was installed.
First, open the JAWS window with JAWS key+j, then arrow up (or l) to "Language," press enter, then arrow down to "voice profile," Enter. Then c for "Create new..." Enter, then tab. Second, return to the JAWS window, go to options, voices, voice profile, select the newly installed voice, and then tab through the settings in case any (such as pitch adjustment) need to be change. Finally, as mentioned, there's the JAWS key+control+s list for selecting the profile currently desired. With any luck, one of these steps was overlooked and the new voice will be recognized. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike O'Brien Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2016 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Switching to a newly installed voice Hi Were the voices you installed Vocalizer Expressive or Vocalizer Direct? One of those synthesizers should have automatically shown up after you installed the voices and restarted JAWS. How are you checking the available voice synthesizers? If your using the Select a voice profile dialog by pressing JAWSkey+control+s and one of the vocalizer Direct or Vocalizer Expressive synthesizers do not appear, I would give Freedom Scientific support a call. I'm sorry I don't have any better answer at this time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of The Iowa Gal Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2016 10:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Switching to a newly installed voice Hi Mike, Thanks for the message, I remain unable to see the vocalizer voice in the voice profile section. I did a repair on the Vocalizer installation and did a modification of same, installing the American english voice, with no joy. Do you have any other suggestions?

So when you pressed enter on the Vocalizer voice, if it told you that the voice was installed successfully, the Vocalizer voice profile should automatically show up. So try restarting JAWS or rebooting to see if the Vocalizer profile is there. To change the pitch for a voice profile, you have to change it for each of the JAWS voices individually. So go to the JAWS main menu, options, voices and then voice adjustment. Find the voice profile you want to change the profile for. Then tab until you get to the combo box that says adjust all contexts. Then down arrow to each of the different individual voices, such as the PC cursor, JAWS cursor, etc. Tab until you get to pitch and set it to what you want. Then you can back tab to the adjust combo box and arrow down to the next voice. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of The Iowa Gal Sent: Monday, February 8, 2016 9:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Switching to a newly installed voice Hi group, I'm using Jaws 16 on my new laptop. When I installed Jaws from a download the only voices included were Eloquence and Sappy 5. I downloaded a vocalizer voice from the FS site and I guess I didn't install it correctly because I can't find it in the voice profile dialogue. After I downloaded the vocalizer voice, I just hit enter on the file and I thought that would install it. Would someone please help me figure out where I went wrong so I can use the new voice? Also, where do I find pitch adjustment? Thanks so much, Norma For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
