hi. They're not free, but they don't cost a lot. There is a link to free
voices, but they're just the low quality microsoft ones.

neospeak.

Hi everybody, it would be interesting to know how successfully
neospeech
voices work with Jaws. I use Scansoft realspeak Daniel, and it is
without
exception the most human synthsized voice I've ever heard. There are a
few
issues with it and jaws though, nothing's ever perfect, is it.
The msin issues are those of capitalization, since daniel doesn't
support
pitch change, and punctuation. There is also the issue of inappropriate
abbreviation. I think Daniel, and this may apply also to other voice
synths
may contain their own set of rules, dictionary etc.
I contacted Freedom Sciendific about the problem, since I was unsure
how
much of the problem was due to the individual voice synth, and how much
was
due to the way jaws used it. They blamed it solely on the individual
voice
synth.
I contacted tech support at nextup, who I bought the voice from, and
they
blamed Jaws.
It would be interesting to know if people have similar problems with
other
sapi 5 voices.
John.
