Hi David This is precisely the point! I have tried going into the voice adjustment and changing the profile, then looking for the voices. No luck. All it's seeing is that nauseating American Microsoft voice which, if I knew a real lady who spoke like, I'd cut her throat out and risk the charge of murder. I'd probably plead insanity based on the fact that she drove me to it by her disgustingly dreadful voice. :)
Anyway, seriously, Jaws simply is not seeing the extra voices so I'm guessing that Jaws will only now see voices you paid Freedom Science Fiction for the use of.

Re Voices Jaws does not list Sapi 5 Voices by synthesiser group. Instead you go to voice adjustment. Then you change the voice profile to Sapi 5 Factory default Then tab to voice person combo box and you should find all the voices from all your Sapi 5 voice engines here in one list. Hopefully this will let you find the voices you require.

Technology Enthusiasm! Subject: Office 2010, a culture shock! Plus, Jaws and dreadful voices Hi all I've finally got around to installing Microsoft Office 2010 on my machine. First thing, I am distinctly unimpressed with the way that Window-Eyes interfaces with Office, particularly Word. But the thing that has me reeling a little is the new "Ribbon" interface, I think that's what they call it. For instance, and this question may be best answered by Mary, how the devil do I export a document to Duxbury? On a different topic, how do I stop Jaws from saying things like "Alt+Tab", "Windows+M", and things like that each time I press a key combination? Finally, I have some high quality SAPI voices installed but despite the fact that they are not tied voices, Jaws won't see them. Why? The voices in question are Acapella Group and Ivona voices. I just can't tolerate those disgustingly awful Elloquance and Dectalk Access32 voices, and I hate the nauseating Daniel and other so-called RealSpeak voices. It's bad enough to hear them in VoiceOver on Apple's platform, let alone Windows. I got rid of them on OS X and I would dearly love to do the same under Windows. Window-Eyes sees them, so why won't Jaws? Gordon <--- Gordon Smith ---> This message was written using 100 Percent recycled electrons.
