Hi Chris,

Actually, JAWS is pretty rubbish at SAPI5 support, but I did get it to work
by doing the following:-

1.  Go into Control Panel, Windows control panel that is.

2.  Select Speech.

3.  Set one of the Acapela voices as your default voice.

Now back in Jaws, go to Language, Change Synthesiser, then select SAPI5.
You will find that your Acapela voice that you selected in control panel is
selected, and JAWS will work fine with it.

The reason I say JAWS is rubbish with SAPI, is that most other screen
readers, Window-Eyes, System Access, etc, will just list all your SAPI
voices, but just lumps them under one option called SAPI5.

All the best

Steve

It should be under SAPI5.
