No, the Narrator voice in Windows XP cannot be changed. Several users have tried but failed in the attempt. Things are said to be different - a choice of voices - for it in Vista. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS) To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 2:02 PM Subject: RE: Using the JFW 8 with new Speech voices I'd be interested in that last question myself. Of all the voices Microsoft could have chosen for narrator, it chose the absolute worst. To some extent, all those engine 4 voices sound as if someone has them in a choke hold, but, as I recall, Mary and Mike are tolerable. RealSpeak represents a drastic improvement.
