With Jaws 11 and XP, I got to them on my C drive, program files, Fifi Scientific, shared, Real Speak Solo, etc. I reached a point where I could have changed a name with the F2, but have no reason to. ----- Original Message ----- From: Farfar Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 4:19 PM Subject: Re: [Bulk] RE: how to instal and uninstal different voices Adrian, I actually suspect that the names are hard-coded into the files, so that changing the file name may not do anything. Not sure -- just a guess.

Typically, to change the name of a file or folder, highlight it in a list and press F2, which sets up an edit field. However, even if that were possible in this case (I don't know either way because I haven't bothered downloading RealSpeak voices), it would probably be unwise to make such a change with these voices. It could disrupt the programming syntax, if that's the right lingo. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Farfar Carlson Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 4:00 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: how to instal and uninstal different voices 1. When I go to realspeak voices and want to download them do I run the instalation file or do I save it and than run it from my computer? Recommend you save and run from the computer. 2. if I suppose to save it and run it later where do I save it to? Anywhere you would like. These are just executables that you launch -- they do the rest. 3. how do I instal the voices? Run each executable and sit back and wait until done. 4. how do I uninstal the voices that I no longer want? Delete them using Control Panel add/remove programs. 5. how do I rename the voice let us say that I called it george and now I want to call it matt how do I rename it? I don't think you can.
