Hello Lynn, I purchased the ATT voice engine that includes mike and crystal. I also have text aloud and the British English voice Audrey and have never had any trouble with any of the nextup products. Take care, John -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lynn Schneider Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 7:45 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: nextup.com and other voices with Jaws I was poking around on the nextup.com web site, which was recommended by others on this list for the purchase of additional SAPI voices. I found three or four voices that I'd really like to have, but my understanding from reading the information on their site is that you have to purchase one of the programs from Nextup, such as Text Aloud, in order to get the voices. I don't mind buying a program to get the voices, but I am wondering how safe these programs are, both from a security standpoint (malware) and an accessibility standpoint (if they will cause problems with Jaws). Is there anything specific I should be aware of before purchasing anything from Nextup? The site is very interesting and I'd love to have some of those voices, such as Mike and Crystal! Thanks for any input you can offer. _____________________________________________________________ Email provided by ifbyphone.com -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: 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.
