You can change the voice names by using voice profiles. This can be done in 
JAWS 11 & 12. Here are the steps.
 
1. hit Insert key j
2. Select Language
3 . Use the right arrow to open sub menu and select Create a new profile.
4. Change the options as desired in this panel and choose the Save as button at 
the bottom. 
5. Give it a new name as desired and click OK.
6. This new name will be available in the select Synthesizer list.

With Jaws 11 and XP, I got to them on my C drive, program files, Fifi 
Scientific, shared, Real Speak Solo, etc.
 
I reached a point where I could have changed a name with the F2, but have no 
reason to.

        Adrian,
         
        I actually suspect that the names are hard-coded into the files, so 
that changing the file name may not do anything. Not sure -- just a guess.

                Dave, just a thought or two about point 5.
                 
                Typically, to change the name of a file or folder, highlight it 
in a list and press F2, which sets up an edit field. However, even if that were 
possible in this case (I don't know either way because I haven't bothered 
downloading RealSpeak voices), it would probably be unwise to make such a 
change with these voices. It could disrupt the programming syntax, if that's 
the right lingo.

                1. When I go to realspeak voices and want to download them do I 
run the instalation file or do I save it and than run it from my computer? 
Recommend you save and run from the computer.
                 
                2. if I suppose to save it and run it later where do I save it 
to?
                 
                Anywhere you would like. These are just executables that you 
launch -- they do the rest.
                 
                3. how do I instal the voices?
                 
                Run each executable and sit back and wait until done.
                 
                4. how do I uninstal the voices that I no longer want?
                 
                Delete them using Control Panel add/remove programs.
                 
                5. how do I rename the voice let us say that I called it george 
and now I want to call it matt how do I rename it?
                 
                I don't think you can.

                Hello listers: I have few more questions: let us say that I 
want to try out different voices so what do I do?
                1. When I go to realspeak voices and want to download them do I 
run the instalation file or do I save it and than run it from my computer?
                2. if I suppose to save it and run it later where do I save it 
to?
                3. how do I instal the voices?
                4. how do I uninstal the voices that I no longer want?
                5. how do I rename the voice let us say that I called it george 
and now I want to call it matt how do I rename it?
                Many thanks. Zdenek
