in regard to my last message for new voices available - does anyone except for me think that jaws as a whole could have a lot better sound in respect to the way that it gets the information across to us? i feel that the voices available could be a lot better...your comments would be greatly appreciated. There are a lot of other voices out there that you can use with jaws. Jaws supports sapi 4 and 5. so you may use what ever voice you wish. I personally believe the best voice is the best sounding and taking up as little memory as possible. Also cpu time is a consideration. Response time is another consideration. The problem is the better the voice the more time it takes up the more memory is used. Dectalk access32 has the smallest foot print and there for should be the synthesizer that is being used. The response time on it is better then any other software synthesizer. Your wish for better speech is understandable and they are out there but jaws should use the most responsive and stable as default. It is sad to me that they are not doing so. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
