Well there is a limited amount to go on as you have not said what you have tried so far. All I can do is restate the procedure so that you can check to see if this is what you are doing.
the steps to follow in Jaws 1. Go to the Language menu in Jaws. 2. Select change synthesizer 3. Select SAPI 5 A quicker way of doing the same thing is to hold down the Insert plus control plus S key and then select SAPI 5 from the list of synthesizers that come up. Now in Jaws again go to Options and then go into the global and individual dialogue boxes. In these dialogue boxes there is an option to select the person. Press the down arrow on this box and you should be able to select any of the SAPI 5 voices that you have installed on your PC. Depending on the speed of your PC there may be quite a delay before you hear the voice change as you move down this list. Patience is the watch word here. A sighted person will see the voice person change but there may be a delay as Jaws loads the synthesizer voice you selected. Occasionally I have known some SAPI 5 voices refuse to load in Jaws. This should not happen with the Real Speak voices however. If there is a voice that does not load you may have to continue to cursor down until you find a voice you can load and hear. If you are having problems here press S and you should land on the Scansoft .voices. Repeatedly pressing S should cycle you through all the Real Speak voices. The final thing to consider is that not all SAPI 5 voices are of high quality. The Microsoft version of the SAPI 5 Mary is an example and you may have landed on this voice by mistake.

I just installed Realspeak, and can only find one voice which, by the way, I am not too impressed with. What am I doing wrong?
