Dear Tom, Many thanks for your reply, and for the link. As I am on dial-up connection, and the file is rather large, to say the least, I will enlist the help of a very good friend who is on Broadband. But, what a relief it will be to have decent voices again.

It will install Mary and Mike along with Sam. http://download.microsoft.com/download/speechSDK/SDK/5.1/WXP/EN-US/speechsdk 51.exe Cheers Tom. ----- Original Message ----- From: "keith" <keith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Jaws Gr oup" <Jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 8:42 AM Subject: [jaws-uk] SAPI 4 and 5 Dear All, Jaws 610, XP. I have SAPI 5 installed, but am not at all happy with Microsoft's Sam, which appears to be the only voice, apart, of course, from Eloquence. I am having to use Sam, unfortunately, as I need a voice to play various games. When I used Windows 98, I had the choice of both Mary and Mike, and both of these were hugely preferable to Sam. Anyone know, please, if there's any way of ditching Sam in favour of Mary and Mike? Thank you.
