Nope, just that those stand-alone TTS voices won't install at all on 64 bit,
and I specifically use them for things like generating sound clips, converting
eBooks into my own audio versions, etc., but, my jaws licence applies across 32
bit-64 bit, so just make sure download correct versions thereof, and, for NVDA,
I actually prefer to stick to eSpeak, partly since I oftern enough want to use
it to listen to afrikaans text quickly/simply, of else just use it as an
alternative to jaws, and works perfectly well enough for most things, but still
prefer to have it sound a bit different from jaws, etc., but anyway.
Stay well

Yep, Windows 7, 64-bit is still a bit of a problem to us; you'd have to buy a
64-bit version of Jaws for it? ☺ Or, you can use NVDA, which works equally well
with 32 and 64-bit... I found that SAPI 4 or 5 a bit slow, so I tend not to
worry much about Realspeak any more...

Ok, something had been meaning to get around to trying out for a bit, and
just got around to it, and worked fine is that the realSpeak scansoft CD got
with my original jaws8 install package refused to let me install the
independent scansoft voices on my windows7 64 bit machine - these are
specifically the sapi 5.0 voices that are independent/stand-alone/usable by all
software, and not just limited to use by freedom scientific products, like the
currently available realSpeak voices you can find on the FS site are.
Anyway, just installed them into the virtual version of windows XP 32bit
that am running inside the VMWare player software on this widnows7 64 bit
machine, partly for what you call backward compatibility etc., and they work
fine therein, which means that now won't have to do something like boot up my
spare laptop, which still runs windows XP itself, if I want to do something
like use DSpeech to render text content into the MP3/audio output versions etc.
Stay well
