Hi Steve, I'm with you, but cause Arabic is very different beast it might not be as straightforward for the shark and other screen readers for that matter to handle it. So would you be able to find out for me if I can get a demo of the Acapela voices? I can see at least two more potential buyers on this list! :-)

Hi Amro, All the others work with JAWS out the box, so I don't see why the Arabic voices shouldn't.

Salma and Youssef are the Arabic voices. Go to Demos, Voice Samples, Arabic and you'll see them there. These two synthes are the ones used by Talks Arabic, Hal Arabic and they work with NVDA too. S&S are notsure if they will work with Jaws out of the box so I'd like to install themand see.

Conversely, if you want a free DVD of all the voices, don't hesitate to contact me. Yes, the voices are compressed on mobile phones, but not on PCs. They are fabulous on a computer.

Org Subject: [access-uk] Acapela voices I remember hearing a brief sample of the Acapela speech on the S.V. Infotech, probably from Steve Nutt's stand. So Steve, is there anywhere we can go on the net to hear a sample of Acapela. also, will the voices be compressed on the pocket as Daniel has been on the Stream?
