Greetings everyone!!
The Sappy 5 voices I spoke about are produced by Realspeak.  There is a 
male and Female voice in the package.

When you first start using the Realspeak voices in JAWS, you must adjust 
the Pitch and speed of the voices, so that they sound normal.  For some 
reason, they don't sound at all like they are supposed to when accessed 
with JAWS.

Your best case scenario is to run Kurzweil 1000 v8 and get used to the 
voices there.  Then load set-up the SAPI 5 synthesizer in JAWS.

Please keep in mind, that if your SAPI 5 synth is not set as default in 
JAWS config, than JAWS will revert back to its default when you reboot.

As far as your question about clarity is concerned, I believe that you 
will be happily surprised.  The SAPI 5 voices are based on recorded 
spoken language and not computer generated language.

cheers
