Good morning,

If you have slow download speeds I'd recommend saving it and then running it. Just in case something unexpected happens during installation it would be nice to have a local copy so that you don't have to cancel the install and download again.

HTH,
Everett

Really? I experimented by choosing run, which I saw was going to take about 45 minutes at my download speed, and hadn't yet figured out what that would
do once it finished downloading. But you say it offers dialogues that help
you install it, once it's downloaded in Run form?

And yes, I'll check the daisy stuff. Need  more experience using it. But I
still think it's needlessly secretive to not give those instructions right
on the page where they proudly list the available voices , or even suggest
towhee to look for more details. That seem to me pretty  lackluster
"instructional" writing. as as such tech documentation.  Darn good thing
we've got the list for the secrets. Sometimes this feels like a Model A club decades ago. There were some instructions, I think, but the savvy driver had
other ways of divining  out what to do and sharing the knowledge with
others.

Oh well. could be worse, I guess.

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.

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.
