Hi,

I just noticed that you can download the acapela voices from bookshare, I was just wondering if anyone had figured out a way to use those voices with jfw.

Do they not install as standard sapi5 engines? When you go to speech in your control panel, are they available alongside Microsoft Sam?

It appears that once installed the a capella voices are only available for use in bookshare's victor reader soft 2.5. I was unable to find them in the choices for jaws or in the games that use the sapi 5 voices.

If you purchase the standalone voices, they're kind of slow with JAWS, that's on my Xp Celeron machine, haven't tried it with this dualcore processor.

These voices also work with read outloud.
