Hi Steve,
I bought the two voices Mike and Crystal for 16 pounds from the =
following
site:-
http://www.shareit.com/product.html?productid=3D3D183961&sessionid=3D3D40=
0406=3D44
4&random=3D3D76befb0d2bee766785609c333c8b9cbc
It is very difficult to offer my opinion on the voices, as speech is =
very
subjective. However I will say this as far as typing is concerned, it =
is
probably not as good as elequence. I am quite a fast typist and really
ought to turn the keyboard voice off, but habit and all that. The =
typing
itself is not affected by using say Mike, but when typing fast the =
speech
does not keep up very well. Editing and reading is fine though and =
longer
text articles is quite pleasant. I may not use these voices all the =
time,
but for the money I am glad that I have purchased them, so that I can =
change
from time to time to maintain concentration.
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
Glad to hear the installation went ok for you. Firstly, how much did =
you
pay? Did you have to buy the speak aloud software, not sure if that's =
the
right name smiles, as well or could you get them separately? And how do =
you
find the voices with jaws? Are they sluggish, slow to respond?
Best regards.
Steve

Hi all, who are interested,
I have purchased and downloaded the voices Mike and Crystal. I =3D
installed
them with no problems this morning and they work fine. The only =3D
problems I
had were the download size, which was about 530 MB for each voice, and =
=3D
that
I had to email the support people with my order number as they did not
respond within 24 hours as they promised. But to their credit they =
=3D
quickly
responded after that and everything went well from there on. So if =
you =3D
are
going to purchase the voices with a credit card, make sure you take a =
=3D
copy
of the order number and the email address of the support desk. Also =
you =3D
will
need to install crystal first as it contains the speech engine as well =
=3D
as
the crystal voice. Simply unzip the file to a folder and run =
setup.exe. =3D
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Paul
