Hello Ted.

It is not possible to change the synthesizer for a specific application
through the configuration manager.  The only way to do this that I know of
is to have a set synthesizer statement written in the auto load event, of
the application that you want to make sure a specific speech synthesizer is
loaded.  This used to be very popular before multichannel sound cards were
normal.  At that time most people had single channel sound cards.  We had a
hardware speech synthesizer that we used when we wanted to play streaming
audio with RealPlayer.  So while focused on RealPlayer we would open the
script manager, right a autostart event, and place the set synthesizer
statement in the autostart event.

Once again you cannot set a specific speech synthesizer for a specific
application through the configuration manager.  The change speech
synthesizer dialog box is grayed.  You can only set the default speech
synthesizer from within default.JCS.

I hope this helps.

Chris.

You can use different voices for different apps. Actually, you can use
different synth, if you wish; just use the synthesizer menu in Configuration
Manager to create custom configurations.  Before you commit to anything, you
can always use the hot key combination to switch on the fly, and se what
works.

If you use Real Speak, you can change its speed unilaterally, either
globally or in individual app.  It's a little harder to get some changes to
stick than Eric implies in his instructions, but it can be done, even if you
have to go through the voice menu, but that's probably a subject for another
time.

This app has gotten so flexible that you're limited by little more than your
desire and your imagination--a long way from the basic transportation of
JAWS 1.X.
