Hi Steve, when you said I chose the SAPI 4 version, I downloaded the Pro version of the trial voices - do you mean that there are SAPI 4 versions in the download as well? I am shamefully ignorant about SAPI and voice technology... But I assumed that as SAPI 5 was in the menu options in JFW, it would see the Infovox voices?
If it's all down to JFW version, which version should I upgrade to? My SMA covers me for v7 but I tried it several times and went back to v6 as I didn't like the way it behaved in Word or IE. As a result, I'm reluctant to shell out to upgrade from a version that, so far, seems to be stable and doing what I need!
Anyway, I really liked the voices, except for that lag, which was so pronounced on my old museum-piece of a pc that it could not say a letter as I typed before I typed the next, and it then dumped the letter because I had hit the next one. I really think that, for the first time, these voices make a genuinely decent stab at good inflection when reading!

Hi Bary, This is because there are SAPI4 and 5 versions of these voices, and you chose the SAPI4 version. No wonder you got the pause. Update your JAWS if you want the best out of them.

Go figure!

You install Infovox, then the voice engineyou want, then you tell JAWS you want to use SAPI 5 and it appears in the JAWS list of voices. If you or anyone else want a demo DVD which gives you 30 days to play for free, let me know.

Is it possible to use the acapela voices with JFW, instead of Eloquence? They sound so much better, or at least the High quality ones do! - Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 11:27 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Acapela voices | Hi Wendy, | | Please try http://www.acapelagroup.com without the dash. | | All the best | | Steve | | -----Original Message-----| From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On BehalfOf | Wendy Sharpe | Sent: Friday 10 October 2008 09:29 | To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx | Subject: [access-uk] Re: Acapela voices | | Steve | | I have tried this link twice and am getting the sorry, page cannot be | displayed message.
