Hi.
Yesterday I happily got my no longer lease to own copy of Window-Eyes. It means I didn't go the route of using Office, I paid the full amount for the program. I called GW Micro regarding getting the Vocalizer voices that I bought while I had a lease to own option. I learned my serial number would change, but I would still be able to get the voices. I went into the Window-Eyes help menu, and selected the Get Voices option. I was brought to a web page where it did show the languages I could get. It also had an authorization program for the voices, so I downloaded and ran that, just to be safe. Now for the confusing part. The next portion of the page talks about Vocalizer Expressive voices. I made the wrong assumption that you'd download your voices from this location. I downloaded one of these voices, and when I tried to activate it I was given a message that it wasn't authorized, and I could authorize it by paying for it. I was going to call up GW Micro on Monday and see what I should do. However, before doing that I took another tackle of the voices page, and this time I went on farther down the page. I finally found where I could select the regular vocalizer voices. I downloaded the one I wanted, installed it with a repair option, then shut down and restarted Window-Eyes. With a little difficulty I got things running, and the new voice works great. I then decided to get the expressive voices, and so far I like them. I'll download one voice each day and see what I think of them. I'm slowly learning how Window-Eyes purchases work, and I write this message to hopefully prevent others from making the mistake I did. All is well now, so I'm all set with the voice I have. Have a good day, and don't work too hard. GO REDS!
