You can also control which soundcard is used through the JFW.ini file for
deck talk access 32 as well. I have not tried it with the RealSpeak voices
as of yet.
I hope this helps.
Chris.

hi,
first downloading the jaws 8.0 off the internet as the documentation clearly
states does not give you the real speak voices. you must install the 3rd cd
in your jaws package to get these options.
second the sound card the sapi 5 voices use is not a function of jaws. so
there is no reason why this would be found in the jfw.ini file. as the
documentation clearly states the directing of sound cards using jfw.ini only
applies to eloquence. nothing is said what so ever about doing this for
sapi five.
if you wish to control what card sapi 5 devices use do so in the speech
control panel. under the windows control panel.

Subject: Fw: JAWS 8.0 with RealSpeak Solo Released
I've already downloaded and installed JAWS 8.0, from the FS web
site. But I don't see any way to choose the RealSpeak Solo voices, as
described in the message below. Is this an enhancement that is only
available from the yet to be shipped CD?
Also, using the SAPI voice I already have, there doesn't seem to be
any way to force SAPI to use a sound card other than my windows system
default card, by editing jfw.ini, as I do with Eloquence. Modifying the
SASPI-related lines of jfw.ini analogously to the modification I have made
to the Eloquence-related lines doesn't seem to produce the desired result.
Is this functionality not available with the SAPI synthesizer, and is it
provided with the new RealSpeak Solo voices?
I would like to have access to the RealSpeak voices. But, if support
for a non-default sound card is not provided with them, I won't bother
installing them, as this functionality is import to my hardware
configuration.
Thank you.
Blessed Be,
Dana

Say It All with JAWS® 8.0 and RealSpeak? Solo
(St. Petersburg, Florida, November 28, 2006) ? The latest version of
JAWS for Windows® makes using screen reading technology easier on the ears.
The Say All feature in JAWS 8.0 allows users to immediately switch
from the current Eloquence synthesized voice to the more natural-sounding
RealSpeak Solo voices from Nuance that are included with each JAWS 8.0
license.
?While the responsiveness of Eloquence is still preferred for
general navigation and use of applications, it is a real pleasure to have
these great sounding voices when listening to a book or longer passage,?
said Eric Damery, Vice President of Software Product Management.
JAWS 8.0 was released November 17, 2006, and information has been
posted to the Freedom Scientific Web site
<http://www.freedomscientific.com/index.html> . All single and multi-user
Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) holders will receive the upgrade by the
first week of December.
In addition to the available languages that RealSpeak Solo provides,
JAWS 8.0 also includes support for Internet Explorer 7 (IE 7), along with
the new Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007,
scheduled to release this quarter.
"The initial feedback from users who have experienced JAWS 8.0 with
IE 7 has been outstanding,? Damery said. ?The combination of navigation and
improved responsiveness, along with some of the newly added features in IE 7
and Mozilla Firefox®1.5 and 2.0, are really helping to improve the user
experience while browsing.?
The JAWS 8.0 package includes the RealSpeak Solo, SAPI 5 synthesizer
CD. All the user has to do to install the voices is load the CD in the
CD-ROM drive and follow the simple instructions to complete the
installation. For English speaking markets, there are seven English voices
included and two Spanish voices. Distributors will provide languages to
other markets as they become available.
JAWS 8.0 also includes updated training material on CD, on the Web,
and even an updated Getting Started that ships in all new packages. DAISY
training material users will benefit from:
* You can now play, pause, fast forward, and rewind the DAISY
material using FSReader, without having to switch applications.
* New DAISY books have been added for AlternateSayAll and
SmartWordReading. The former describes how to adjust the RealSpeak Solo
voices that are included with JAWS 8.0.
The latter describes how JAWS 8.0 improves the reading of
alphanumeric strings of text, phone numbers, equations, and more.
* The Basic Training material has been updated to reflect all
changes in JAWS 8.0.
See the full list of new features on the What?s New in JAWS 8.0 Web
page <http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_products/software_jaws80fea.asp> .
To check the status of your SMA, visit www.FSActivate.com and enter
your JAWS serial number.
Those who wish to purchase an upgrade to JAWS 8.0 or renew an SMA
may contact Freedom Scientific Sales or a local authorized dealer.
