Clarence reported that Reel Speech Jen worked fine on his machine. I downloaded those voices as a result of being a Window-Eyes user many years ago. Are they in some way tied to Window-Eyes and therefore not available elsewhere? I wonder why I can't hear them? I've done a test here at work on the work PC, and neospeech Kate and Paul sound wonderful. I have Kate reading Popular Communications, and her performance is pretty credible. It's sure strange about the real speech voices though. Nolan Crabb Rehabilitation Services for the Blind 615 Howerton Ct., P.O.
