RealSpeak won't work, but SAPI 5 will; it even works with Acrobat
Reader.

Hi everyone,

I have a question which is kind of JAWS related but not completely. If
you
would like to respond privately, please feel free to do so. My e-mail is

texaspawprints@xxxxxxxxx

Anyway, my question is this. I know my JAWS 11 CD has the various voices
on
it. Is there a way to just get one or all of the voices downloaded to a
computer for use with w'indows applications without loading JAWS on the
computer?  My daughter is quite the little novelist and also slightly
dyslexic. She uses a program to read her stories aloud so she can see
how
they sound. The only voice she has on her computer is Microsoft Sam
which is
just awful in my opinion. She is dealing with it but I thought it would
be
nice for her to be able to use one of the Real Speak voices or something

similar.

If the voices cannot be used without JAWS being installed, is there
anywhere
she can download some more natural sounding voices to use without it
costing
an arm and a leg?  Any info about this would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Nikki B.
