Hi Steve,
It was Daniel's voice.
I switched to Jill and everything reads fine.
I'm not sure why one real speak voice would read correctly and the other would not.
I downloaded Money Talks and so do not have the Cd with the voices on it.
Microsoft Sam also read the dates correctly.
I haven't tested the other real speak foices to see if any of the others have a problem reading the dates. I should also say that Daniel read the 2005 dates correctly but once 2006 came along he had problems.

John,

Don't know if this will help.

Are you typing in the date in the date field as 12/12/2006 or just 12/12/06? Either way is correct for mt. I just tried a transaction for December 12, 2006 and it states December 12, 2006 with the build-in voice from mt. It's probably not the brand of voice you are using, it's AT&T Mike voice. Have you tried a different voice from Real Speak? It seems from your message that you have.

What is the AT&T Mike voice doing on your system with money talks. It is working correctly hear.

        Hi,
I'm playing around with the real speak voices and Daniel and probably all of them get the dates wrong when using Money Talks.
Normally I type the date and JAWS reads it like this:
12/12/06
which translates to December slash twelve slash 2006.
Daniel instead says October twelve 2006.
I'm not sure how he comes up with that date.
Is there a way to fix this annoying problem other than not using the self voices?
thanks!
John
