okay here's what you do. when you get to the voice tab you will see the speech synths you have on the computer, but they are closed, so select one and right arrwo to open it, then you will arrow down to see the individual voices in that synthe. You can select to disable any of the voices in that group, by selecting the voice, tabbing till you hear disable and hitting enter. You can also hear what that voice will sound like by tabbing till you hear test. you do this procedure with each individual voice. you will select the voice by highlighting, go to the test by tabbing and if you don't like it, tab to disable. After you finish with the first synth, you arrow down to the next one and right arrow to open it, and down arrow to the individual voices, as you did with the first one. Once you've done all this, only your favorite voices will read the news to you. Hope that was clear. I love my news aloud. I have three synths in mine, via voice, AT&t, and microsoft. I have disabled a bunch of microsoft voices, cause I hate the way they sound. Have fun with the program. catlady1949@xxxxxxxxxxx add me to your MSN: Catlady1949@xxxxxxxxxxx -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
