I prefer the way the real speak voices sound much more than eloquence, but
at least right now, with the sluggishness and choppiness I can't see how
they can be used for more than short periods at a time. I'm still trying
to
figure out the dictionary manager and different language settings for
certain words and so on too. I'm trying to get certain words spoken in
their
corresponding languages like before and it's just not happening. I've got
to
play with it a little more I suppose.
I wonder if the real speak voices are a beta version too or if they're a
one
shot deal and what we've downloaded is the best they'll be?

I noticed the sluggishness with the real speak solo direct voices as well.
I sort of was led to believe hearing the pod cast they were designed to
perhaps replace the eloquence synthesizer some day. I am choosing not to
use them because of their sluggishness. Even the nuance SAPI 5 voices
seem
to be to me more responsive.

Subject: Early Impressions of the New JAWS 10
Hi all, I wish to tell you my early impressions of JAWS 10. It seems very
good so far, and I'm liking the new features, for example autoforms mode
and RealSpeak Solo Direct support. However, I have some comments as well.
1. RealSpeak Solo Direct: it seems to be sluggish when I type. Is this
normal behaviour of RealSpeak, or is this a beta issue and therefore
should be reported. This sluggishness does not happen with Eloquence.
2. Confusion surrounding "Run JAWS with No Speech" check box: according
to
the help, it said that the option has been removed from the advanced
options dialogue box in Configuration Manager. I in fact do not recall
ever seeing a "Run JAWS with No Speech" option anywhere in Configuration
Manager. What I do see though is the "Sleep Mode Enable" check box.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but how does one silence JAWS 10 for
programmes like OpenBook? Or is this sleep mode option only been removed
from default.jcf. If so, this makes sense, as who would want JAWS to go
to
sleep for all applications, apart from Braille-only users or maybe Magic
users.
3. Problem starting earlier versions of JAWS: I have JAWS 9.0.2169
installed on this system. Since installing JAWS 10 I've only been able to
switch to JAWS 9 about once or twice, the other times it sort of loads
but
I don't get any feedback. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Otherwise, I think that's all the comments for now. I look forward to
your
comments and feedback. Thanks in advance, happy beta testing!
