That's the kind of answer I was looking for! Thanks!

Carol,
No you don't need to uninstall the older version. That will be updated for
you by the installation of 2012.2.1.
And it will retain your settings.

Further to the below helpful message, I have in fact got 2012.1 already
installed and am having a look around .
Do I need to uninstall this version to put in the latest?
I'm not too clear still how to install the voices. I have an .exe file
which has an older Eloquence version I want to try so a little more
explanation would probably help there, thanks.
I am beginning to get impressed with this.
Thanks for any further help.

Carol,
If you go to the NVDA page at:
http://www.nvda-project.org
Follow the download link to get version 2012.2.1 and then look for the link
to all the available voices you can download all of them.
NVDA now uses a very simple add-on manager to add voices so, for example,
after downloading the svox pico voice, bring up the NVDA screen, go to
tools, manage add-ons and load the svox pico voice, then go to preferences,
synthesiser and select the svox pico voice.
It will be the same for all the other voices except the Microsoft SAPI
voices. These are pre-installed on your machine.
The way in which a portable version is installed has changed too. Before
there were two versions to download. Now the tools menu item has a create
portable version item.

Hi all,
OK, I've been convinced to try NVDA again and need to listen to all the
voices possible for NVDA to use to select what I like and get the necessary
files. Can anyone please tell me if there are demos of all the voices and,
if so, where do I find them,?
I just can't stand the default voice that is used and will not learn more
thoroughly unless I'm satisfied with the voice.
Thanks.
