if you're a language freak like me, RealSpeak Solo Direct is a godsend!

The voices on the Stream are vastly scaled-down versions of the RealSpeak voices. The ones included with JAWS sound considerably better. They are not, as I have said several times now, meant to replace Eloquence.

Hi,
You do not need to save the FT download , just run it and you will be
prompted to hit the install button and the module will go to the right place within the FS Folder. The FS Daisy Basic Training is very helpful with this

topic.

Subject: Jaws 10 and RealSpeak Solo direct voices


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.
