Hi David Yes, I tried that but it's only showing me the Microsoft SAPI voice, and the Elloquance SAPI engine. I know the other voices are installed because Window-Eyes uses them fine. I will try again when I get home because the Elloquance voices are real irritating.

Here you have voice adjustments and voice profiles. go to voice adjustment and select the synthesiser and voice you want. I think you have to tell it to look if you want a Sapi 4 voice but I do not think you will be using these . You can set up rate etc here as well. You can either save this voice adjustment as default or as a profile. The benefit of saving different profiles is that they are then available instantly to select with Jaws control and S. You can also attach profiles to applications if you want but I do not bother with that. 2. Reading around the screen Using Jaws cursor simply use cursor keys to read around the screen. Jaws numpad minus routes Jaws cursor to Pc cursor . I cannot remember the laptop equivalent. Insert up arrow reads the current element. Jaws R toggles various screen restrictions, I normally have this either set to window or unrestricted.

Subject: Jaws Progress Hi all Well, I never thought I'd see the day when I would say this, but I have to admit that I quite like some aspects of Jaws 13. What I cannot quite get to work is moving around the screen area with Jaws. It doesn't seem to be that if I press Insert+cursor keys, it reads. I would have expected it to do that. I do have one question though. I have some SAPI5 voices installed on my system, but when I try and change voices Jaws simply isn't seeing them. They are not tied to any screen-reader. So, the question is why isn't Jaws seeing the voices? I hate that Eloquance trash! Gordon <--- Gordon Smith ---> This message was written using 100 Percent recycled electrons.
