Hi,

I agree with you, but voices tend to be very personal.  I personally don't like 
for example, these high quality human-like voices, Eloquence all the way for 
me.  So the JAWS default is just fine.

My main object was to point out that all this is fixable, it's not the screen 
reader that is to blame for bad voices.

All the best

Steve

Hello,

I don't like to buy after-market voices when I don't have to though.
Their's not much point since I have 6 jaws licenses.<div

Hi,

Just for clarity, you can change the voice of any screen reader and 
buy high quality voices.

All the best

Hello,

I am a regular jaws user, and even though Jaws' voice is extremely 
robotic I find Dolphin's voice even more so. I didn't delve into its 
functionality very much as I quickly realised that its voice was going 
to be so grating I couldn't use it.

Hello
What are members views on Dolphin screenreader compared to JAWS and NVDA?
Since it is made in England, how loyal are Dolphin followers, why 
have people stopped or do not use Dolphin instead of NVDA or JAWS, 
and there has not been a comparison between the screenreaders for 
very long. Is Dolphin Screenreader popular like it used to be and do 
people still want to use it and pay all the costs, or are Jaws and 
NvDA really much better or more popular among screenreader users?
