I do have the scan soft ones, but for some reason NVDA sort of twist the sound a bit. They don't sound... well, natural. However, with openbook and jaws, they work as good, although not as resposive as real speak solo direct.



Thanks a bunch!

Yadiel,

The voices that work with OpenBook 8 and earlier do work with other
screen readers.  They are the scansoft voices and not the realspeak
solo direct voices.  You will not find anything to match them for free
on the net.  They're not that expensive though.  Cepstral, NeoSpeech
and Nuance voices are about $30 to $150 a voice.  That's not too much
really.  I do, however, know of some sapi 4 voices you might be
interested in.  Do a Google search for L&H voices.  I think it's
Lernet and Haupt but not sure.  Anyway, they are now free.  They are
no where near the quality of the realspeak solo direct voices but they
come in several languages and are not too terribly bad.  Jaws works
very well with them.

Good luck,
Alex M

Hello everyone.


I have jaws and openbook. I use almost of the voices that FS gives for free
(that may explain why jaws is so expencive). I think that they are called
Real Speak solo direct. Well, they work great with jaws, but guess what?
They don't with anything else. So here is my question. Do you know of any
other TTS Voices in the zappy 5 protocol and the prize range is "free"?
Also, can you tell me where to find them?


Any help will be appricaited
