Thanks, Shelly, I had forgotten about that little gotcha. I do use Window Eyes and got caught in that. You have to NOT install the Eloquence that comes with K1000 if you have Window Eyes installed. It just won't work if you do install it. I don't know why that happens, but you can use Eloquence with K1000 if you do not install it when you install K1000. Strange but true. At least that's the way it worked when I installed K1000 on my machine with Window Eyes back in January of 2008. They may have fixed that by now, or they may not have.

I close Kurzweil, and relaunch it, only to find the microsoft voice back.

Then reload K1000 and see which speech you get. Have you tried that?

Something very strange has happened to my kurzweil. For some reason, it's voice has defaulted to microsoft narrator, which is horrid, rather than eloquence, which I prefer. I uninstalled, and re-installed, and still, the problem persists. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm running version 11, on a windows XP machine. Solstice Singer
