After reading these posts I decided I wanted to go up to Freedom Scientific and download the most current voices I admired. After downloading a group of them I began installing them on my windows xp computer with jaws 10 running. I was told in order for the changes to take effect I would have to restart the computer. I did this. After which I discovered the additional voices weren't installed. Or they didn't work. I can't find them on my computer. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place to find them. How do I activate these additional voices? ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel McGee To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 5:19 PM Subject: Re: which french and spanish voice do yoou recommend? Hi to all, I don't speak any other language, but I was wondering do the "real speak direct solo voices" get updated once in a while? I like the sound of TOM who is US but I really hate the way he says "Hi!" I was wondering why do some words of a real speak voice sounds really weird than others? Its always interested/bugd me.

I think you mean Castilian and Latin American Spanish. I like Paullina. I have never used the Castilian voice, however. I think Castilian Spanish is too snooty sounding for my liking. Differentiating the different accents is not racist if proper terminology is used to distinguish the difference. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yadiel Sotomayor To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2010 11:24 AM Subject: Re: which french and spanish voice do yoou recommend? If you like the spain accent then go with Monica from Real Speak. You can download her for free from the FS website. If you don't like the spain accent then go with the mexican spanish (I hate that statement, mexican spanish. sure... racist comment... mexican accent more like it, what happen to us puerto ricans, no voices for us) (lolol) voice, Paulina. I like those two a lot. However, paulina isn't responsive at all. So don't use her if you want to work. But if you want to read, then go for those two.
