[nabs-l] RealSpeak JAWS voices

[chris nusbaum]

Hi Ashley

There are a lot, I don't remember the exact number. To find them, go
to insert J for the JAWS window, hit alt for the menu bar, then hit
right arrow until you find the help menu. Hit down arrow on that menu,
and keep down arrowing until you find the Web Resources submenu. Hit
right arrow to go into the sub menu, and you should see something
about RealSpeak solo direct voices as you down arrow through the
submenu. Hit Enter on that, and Internet Explorer will open to that
page on the Freedom Scientific Web site. From that page, you can
choose from the list of voices, click the Sample Voice link to hear a
sample MP3 file of the voice, and then you can choose the one you like
and press Enter on the "download voice" link for that voice. Hope this
helps!

Chris
