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! :-)


Cheers,
Amro

Hi Amro,

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

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve,

Yes indeed. 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 not
sure if they will work with Jaws out of the box so I'd like to install them
and see.

Cheers,
Amro

Hi Amro,

Are there Arabic voices?  I need to check on that.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve, I managed to download the Acapela Voice Engine but I couldn't
find

how to download one of the Arabic voices. They aren't listed with the rest
of voices for download. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Amro

The link is missing the dot com off the end of it.

Try http://www.acapela-group.com

Hi David,

You can go to http://www.acapela-group to not only hear, but
download a demo
of the Infovox speech package which includes the voices.

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.

All the best

Steve

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?
