The files you download are regular executable files. Whether you just run them, or save them first, is a matter of personal preference. Either way, you just run the executable file that you grabbed, and it will install that particular Realspeak Direct voice onto your system. At this point RealSpeak Direct becomes another synthesizer you can select from in your profiles.

First off, let me say that I've been looking at every book and topic under
Jaws Help, and have also been to the FS page with the selection of new
RealSpeak voices. Even so, I still need to ask these questions. Thanks.

I'm using Jaws 10. I'd like to install one or more voices from the RealSpeak
Solo Direct page at the FS site, but I don't understand what I'm supposed to
do.

When I click on the FTP link for a voice, I get a common download dialogue.
Fine. First of all, do I want to run or save? if it's Run, what happens? And
if it's Save I want, then in which folder of my hard drive should I place it
?

And then, how do I actually install it and get it working?

I used to use Jaws 9, and I installed the old RealSpeak voices from the Jaws
9 CD, and they all appeared in my Say All item on the Configuration Manager
Settings menu, and I knew how to get a voice working as the default Say All
voice or, if I preferred, to set it up so that if I pressed Alt key Insert
down arrow instead of the regular Say All command, the voice would kick in.
So I have that experience. But I can't figure out how to install one or more
of the new voices. this.

I hope my question is clear. Thanks for any assistance.
