Hey you guys. I did a quick search on the FS site in the technical support notices for NeoSpeech. I found this technical support notice called The quality of the VoiceWare Kate and Paul synthesizers is poor when using them with JAWS. How can I improve the voice quality? http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=977 It says that Note: The voices are available from NeoSpeech. So is this what you are talking about? There is a file you can download to improve the quality. Read the technical support notice for the details.

They will appear in the list of voices when you change your jaws synthesizer to sapi5. You may notice though that the voices don't sound happy, they may sound lispy and/or crackly. This is because Jaws needs to know the frequency of the voices. To do this you need to get the cls id number for each of the voices, which involves going into the registry, and then pasting that number into your sapi5.ini file, which will be in your jaws folder. If you'd like I can send you step by step instructions how to do it, but if you're not happy editing the registry you may need further help doing it. If you want the instructions let me know offlist.

It has both the male and female voices. is there any way to get these to work with Jaws? I found the folder that contained the Neo Speech files but I'm not really sure how to get Jaws to use these. .
