I tried all of those US English voices on my JFW 11 demo. Aside from the human quality, I was unimpressed with the responsiveness of these Realspeaks considering I'm running a Presario Pentium 2ghz Dual core with 2GB RAM. I found Jennifer and Tom to be rather choppy, wit Jill and Samantha performing tolerably well but not nearly as fast as Elloquence. I'm glad these things are free for JFW users as I wouldn't waste any money.

Hi, Dave, I noticed that as soon as I hit send. Felt rather silly, actually. Must have zoomed right out of my head as soon as I read that he was considering paying extra for something he could get for free. Always bugs me that people should be charged for stuff like that. I am mystified as to how he got an eloquence version that didn't come with German already on it. I'm a multilingual individual and German is one of the 7 languages I speak. I could always hop onto German language websites without a problem. If I have language detect on, Jaws even starts speaking them in German without any additional modification of settings from me. I've been using Jaws with eloquence since like 3.3 and, I've noticed it's always had it there for you when you needed it. It's just harder to get to now with the profile system instead of just hitting a hotkey to switch languages on the fly.

Hallo: What version of Jaws are you running? You should have German on it already. I don't think you should have to pay for it though. Are you strictly set on Eloquence? Have you ever tried the more natural sapi5 voices? If you are using Jaws 10 or later, you can download the realspeak solo direct voices for free from Freedom Scientific. Two of them are German voices, Steffi and Yannic. Here is the link: http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/RealSpeak-Solo-Direct-Voices/RealSpeak-Solo-Direct-Downloads.asp Use the h key to scroll through the headings. Each language is its own heading. There are many languages. Each has a sample for you to listen to.
