Google search for Microsoft speech platform, should be the first result. Go to 
the Microsoft speech platform 11.0, get the runtime first, then go to the 
languages and download whichever ones you want. They are the ones with TTS in 
them, not tele, the tele ones are for speech recognition, but I know of no 
programs that can use that. When the runtime and language(s) are installed, a 
restart of NVDA is recommended. Go to synthesizers and choose Microsoft speech 
platform and enjoy.

Where can you get this Chinese voice that you speak of for Windows 7? Botr 
those such as myself who can't afford to upgrade to windows 8 when it comes 
out, I hope NVDA creators won't pull the plug on the screen reader. I think it 
is fantabulous!

Oh, but if Microsoft were to be attacked by FS, I'm sure Microsoft would win. I mean, 
they have tons more money than FS and GW Micro combined. Plus, I'm sure the creators of 
Outspoken were not too happy about Apple's Voice-over, but they got over it and look at 
how good voice over is now, and think about how it was when it first came out. Back in 
Tiger, I heard, VO couldn't read power-points and I heard it was all-around a horrible 
screen reader, and the voices weren't that good either. But look at it now. Those that I 
have met online that have a mac say that they love every bit of it. Voice-over only has 
slight bugs, and works perfectly 99% of the time. Now, perhaps Microsoft is taking that 
rout. Perhaps Microsoft is updating narrator for a reason, that is, to make it even 
better in the future. I've heard that even now it can read web-pages. I'm not sure how 
well it does this, but I've heard that it does. And Microsoft is actually making better 
voices, and not only that, they're making voices for languages other than English, 
something Apple hasn't done yet, something apple has had to get in with Neuance to do. 
And really, Microsoft's voices are truly amazing! How many voices have you used that can 
say "Cats live nine lives," correctly? And Zirra sounds just amazing! Now, all 
they have to do is emprove the responsiveness, which they're probably working on now, and 
it'll be perfect for screen reader usage. And, something more, Microsoft is aparently 
planning to have Narrator on their Windows phone 8. This will surely bring a lot of 
phones to the accessibility realm. And, Microsoft will have brought accessibility to the 
mobile platform a little faster than Apple did, seeing that Windows 8 will be  released a 
while before Windows Phone 8 is, since true ccessibility will be brought to both 
platforms at nearly the same time. I'm sure that the first few versions of Narrator will 
be bad. But so was Voiceover. But what we have to keep in mind is that Microsoft is 
actually trying. They're trying to help us, and all we're doing is sitting here saying 
that Microsoft is somehow afraid of Freedom Sciencefiction and GW Micro? LOL. Just look 
at what they've done with Narrator, and windows 8 in general? They've added more keyboard 
shortcuts in Windows, added several, and I mean several, commands to narrator, they've 
added some sort of object navigation to Narrator, and made several, and I mean several, 
new voices. And the largest voice is 25MB, which is one of the Chinese voices which can 
speak English quite well, and is very high-quality. Nah, Microsoft isn't scared of FS or 
GW Micro.Come talk with other NVDA users on irc.blufudge.net #NVDA
