Yes. You'll be asked at a separate screen which synthesizer you want to be the default.
You can also set up Dectalk Express, or any other synthesizer, without going through the JAWS installation process. Look at the JAWS synthesizer and braille manager in the menu presented when you press insert-j. My guess is that the procedure exists there. I haven't done it in so long that I don't remember the specifics.

I'm scheduled to get a new pc at work this week or next and I'll get one out and hook it up. I'm assuming that I'll still have the option of selecting eloquence, Yes? Regards, Jeff

When installing JAWS, you choose custom install. When selecting synthesizers, you press d down to Dectalk Express. Then JAWS presents you with the comport and other settings that are standard for Dectalk Express. You accept them and go on to
the next page. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey Schwartz" <sidney.schwartz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 10:01 PM Subject: RE: Jaws 10 and RealSpeak Solo direct voicesIf I understand you, those are the ones I have You could buy an internal card for $950 or one of these for $1100. They are a bit larger than a paper back book. They came with a leather case . They connected to the pc by way of a cable that had a serial port connector for the computer and what looked like a telephone plug for the unit. I'm getting kind of nostalgic here. There were much cheaper ones on the market, but these sounded the best. How would I configure it? The old Jaws install asked you which com port it was on, if I remember correctly. Who knows? It might sound better than eloquence. Thanks, Jeff

If you have external DECtalk synthesizers older than the DECtalk Express, they may work if the command strings are the same as those for the Express.

They all worked just fine when I put them away. Just for the sake of experimentation, do you think that I could get jaws to speak thru one of them? When you consider it, the cost of using jaws has really come down. Those units cost$1100 each when that was some serious money. It's never been cheap to be blind.

Can't say that I missed him, but again, that is simply a testimony to the fact that voice preference is very subjective.

Also, they use more computer resources than synthesizers such as Eloquence.
Personally, I find them irritating and annoyingly slow for everyday use, which is why I would only use them for functions such as "SayAll" with the appropriate JAWS command
When I first used Eloquence, I did not like it very much. But, like many other people, I have got used to it.

The ones included with JAWS sound considerably better. They are not, as I have said several times now, meant to replace Eloquence.

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.
