[JAWS-Users] DecTalk Synthesizer Problem
BlankTalk of different synthesizers brought to mind a problem I've had for quite some time. A few years ago, something -- either a new Jaws update, or an update to the Microsoft Visual C-plus-plus broke the external Dectalk's synthesizer interface. I vaguely recall something about this on possibly another list. Has anybody encountered this issue and is there a solution?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Changing Voices
I guess jAWS will work with a lot of SAPI5 voices. I have never tried to install any, but your Windows computer probably came with the standard microsoft ones. You can select those from the Jaws, Options, Voices menu. Select "choose a voice profile". If you want to download some of the Vocalizer voices, go to the synthesizer download page at Freedom Scientific. There is a link to it in the JAWS help menu. On that page, you can select your language, and the type of synth voice you want, either in a pack with other voices sharing the same language, or in premium editions as a single voice. The premium downloads are fairly large; around 300 mb each as I recall. It's an .msi installer package, so you run it like you would a standard Windows installer and follow the prompts. Then, restart JAWS, and the new voice(s) will be available to you. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of HICKS, Steven (ROYAL CORNWALL HOSPITALS NHS TRUST) Sent: June 28, 2018 6:29 AM To: 'JAWS-Users-List@JAWS-Users.COM' Subject: [JAWS-Users] Changing Voices I Would like to try a few different vioces for JAWS, I have always used Eloquence, can anyone give me the quick steps to try this please?

Re: [JAWS-Users] interesting thoughts/finding about CPU speeds, temperature and JAWS
Hey. Try one of the ones we were talking about. CoreTemp is pretty straight-forward. As for the laptop problem, you're definitely not the only one. I understand it's very common. My girlfriend's laptop is a crappy little E-machine running Windows 7. It only has a single processor and, while I don't know what it's running at, the computer is pretty much useless for any kind of multitasking, and now that it's getting pretty hot here, overheat shutdowns are common. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Audiobookfan Sent: June 28, 2018 12:37 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] interesting thoughts/finding about CPU speeds, temperature and JAWS Thanks for the suggestions. I saved your previous email, so I'll go back and take a look at that. One of the computers is running Vista, the other is running Windows 7 and neither have been reformatted, so the driver issue is unlikely. Plus, the Windows 7 computer had the problem from day one, even when not running JAWS or any screen reader. It was my sighted wife's computer and it would shut down sometimes while she was watching Netflix. She got so frustrated, she quit using the Windows computer altogether. She does everything on her iPad now. I have no idea what the temperatures are. I'll have to go find one of those programs that lets me check those values. Thanks again for the suggestions.

So, I am running an AMD with six processors rated at, apparently, around 3500 MHZ. My system has 8 GB of Ram and is running Windows 10, 1803, and JAWS 18. My preferred voice is the premium Daniel Vocalizer voice. Yes, these specs are all relevant to the topic. For some time now, I have noticed a certain tendency of my system to lag, or lock up, for several seconds at a time. This only seems to happen when JAWS is running. I'm aware that my choice to use this synth does negatively affect JAWS response time, even on this reasonably fast system. Anyway, the "freezes" seem to affect some programmes more than others, but perhaps particularly Firefox and MS Office products. Sometimes, alt-tabbing between open windows seems rather sluggish. Well, today I ran a utility from a company called Resplendent Software called WhySoSlow. It's basically one of dozens of diagnostic software tools available, that measures your computer's performance by calculating various factors. It measures your CPU speed, memory load, and the temperature of your CPUs using the sensors that modern PCs have. The system was running at a cool 20-something celsius. It was also running at less than half its advertised clockspeed, the programme informed me, and suggested that my CPUs were being "throttled" to conserve power. Now, I'm aware that some of these third party utilities measure specs in weird ways, or make strange and not always advisable recommendations. I've completely gone off using registry cleaners or any such tools for this reason. I'm also aware that modern CPUs can "clock up" when the load on them becomes particularly intensive, but I don't know how well Windows for instance actually manages this feature. However, I decided to try a little experiment. I remembered fiddling a bit with the power settings in Windows 10 previously, but not to any great extent - mostly just to prevent my computer from "going to sleep" when left unattended. In the "power plan" settings within power options, I adjusted the power plan from "balanced", to "optimise for performance", to see if it would make a difference. I then ran WhySoSlow again. My computer is now operating at peak processor speed, all of the time. I suppose it's also using a hell of a lot more power, which might not be a good thing. It's also not "running cool" anymore. In fact, the CPU temperature has doubled all across the board, reaching as high as 65 C, according to this programme (even higher according to the coretemp utility). However - JAWS is now behaving much more responsively. I haven't had any freezes. Alt-tab cycles between programmes nearly instantaneously, and Firefox seems much faster. I don't really have a question for the list. I just thought this was kind of an interesting thing to share, and wondered if anyone else had observed anything similar. It is a fact that with my current setup I am normally at a speed disadvantage when placed against sighted users. This is, I believe, in part because JAWS is somewhat resource-intensive, especially using this type of synthesiser (yes, I have considered switching back to Eloquence). I'm not sure if I ought to keep my setup this way. I don't particularly want a really high power bill and I don't want my computer to overheat, though in theory the automatic cutoffs should engage before anything really bad happens. I actually think it's nice that Windows includes power saving features, but not necessarily at the expense of system performance.
