You can get it from nextup it is a standard sapi synthesizer.
Now people some one want to explain to me how fs is supposed to change
this when they do not own it. It is own by alon I think and before that
it was owed by scan soft.

How are you all using Real Speak already? Jaws 8 has not been released
yet. Is there anyway to get real speak now? Thank you, Angie

John,
If FS won't fix the problem with the RealSpeak synthesizer, and you wish
to
use this synthesizer, you will just have to put all of those problem
words
into the Dictionary Manager in such a way that the abbreviation
expansion is
defeated. DECtalk Access32 says Sunday every time it receives the word
sun.
I replaced s u n with s o n in the dictionary manager, and it doesn't do
that any more.
