The voices are about 100 megs a piece. They are okay. Not great not bad. I think Samantha is the most clear voice. I heard that crystal with the AT&t natural voices is better. I still think eloquence works just fine. I find that when I am listening to a document with Samantha, I have to stop at least once and go over it again with eloquence. I have been using eloquence for a very long time and am not use to some of the ways that Samantha pronounces words.

What he wrote was that the Jaws 8 sapi voices couldn't be downloaded. That's because they were not offered as a download, but only as an additional CD in the Jaws 8 mailer. I think FS said something like it wanted to spare us the time it would take to download the voices.----- Original Message ----- From: <tickpub@xxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 10:16 PM Subject: Re: Jaws 8 point o Hi, this is the same question I have? Adrian, you made a statement that the sapp voice cd ad on did not load, is this what you were saying? If so,do the 7 free sappi voices that come with 8 load now? I just ordered that package just to get the voices, it was cheaper than buying the voicesindividually. Tell me more about the voice issue if there be one?

Thanks for the quick response. Roger Bachelder Hi, Roger. It's interesting how the FS salesperson presented this package to you. In fact, what you're being offered in the 3-for-1 deal is JAWS 8 plus the SMA (software maintenance agreement). The point is that the SMA entitles you to free technical support. That may be reason alone to go with the deal. FS's tech support isn't perfect, but they are responsive. Usually, I handle my questions by email and get responses within 24 hours. If a problem requires urgent attention, I'll call. The drawback is that the call isn't to FS's toll-free line, so I'm paying for the time I'm on hold and while speaking to the tech support rep. As for the delayed shipment of JAWS 8 to some customers, I'm pretty sure the alphabet doesn't explain it. But to be honest, I no longer install new versions of JAWS on their first release, which is what we get with the CD. I wait until other more adventurous JAWS users have identified flaws and FS has put in some fixes. Your SMA would entitle you to download any version, including the latest, from the FS website. Therefore, the mailing issue turns out to be minor. (Yes, in the case of JAWS 8, the additional voices came on a separate CD and couldn't be downloaded, but it's unlikely a future package will include such an add-on.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Bachelder" <bachelder3@xxxxxxxxxxx> Hello everyone, Ok, here is the deal. I'm looking to purchase Jaws 8 point o. I called Freedom Scientific and they told me I had a couple options. They said I could purchase 8 point o for 120 dollars plus shipping and handling. Then y said, I could purchase 8 point o, and 9 point o for 120 dollars each. And doing this would make me eligible to get 10 point o free when it comes out. I would like to know about some experiences, and what they were like with purchasing the 3 in 1 deal. I can remember back not to long ago when 8 point o was released, for a while there was a lot of talk about people not getting there new software disks. So I'm curious if these people who received the disks later then others, Weather they did a 3 in one deal, or weather maybe it was because there last name was toward the back of the alphabet? I ask this because I'm not one who handles the run around to well. And I'm trying to make a informative decision weather it would be in my best intress to go with a single update or a package deal. Take care all, and enjoy your weekend.
