Re: [JAWS-Users] changing the Jaws voice in the say all command
Hi Riana. Thanks for that. Like I said earlier. I had used the realspeak voices in the alternate say all command before. As I installed them from the second CD, that came with an earlier version of Jaws. I think it was Jaws 10 or 11? So I assumed, that they would still be available on my system to use with Jaws 12? I have redownloaded them again from the FS website. Like you suggested. Surely we don't have to keep reinstalling them with every subsequent version of Jaws? I am still having trouble, finding where to go? So as to select which voice I want to use? I have listened to the Jaws training book. On how to choose an alternate voice during say all. But the options and menus they discuss. Are not there. I have also looked under the settings area of the utilities menu. As suggested by another list member. But still with no luck. Do you or any other list members have any suggestions? As to what i may be doing wrong. Again, I am using Jaws 12 on an XP home machine.

They don't install automatically upon installation of jaws. After that, you would have to create profiles for the voices you want to use, before you'd be able to switch to them.

Re: [JAWS-Users] changing the Jaws voice in the say all command
Hello Jason, I'm using jaws 11 at work, the pc from which I'm replying now but use jaws 12 on two computers at home. I'm not on the jaws list at my home address, but will forward the message and look again tonight, but as far as I can recall, you don't go into the settings centre, just try the following: Choose the jaws context menu with the long insert key together with j, Then choose options, Then press v for voices and Enter on or press V again for voice adjustment. Then you are, after a few seconds, supposed to be on the profile, which would currently probably be on eloquence. Press enter to get into the combo box and arrow through the profiles. If you don't have one set up yet for the specific realspeak voice you wish to use, go into, by enter, the real speak profile. Tab down to the further options, inter alia language where you want english, probably your default already, then, on a further tab choose, with the arrow keys, the relevant person, like e.g. Daniel. All the realspeak voices already installed on your computer should be listed under the voice person of the realspeak profile. Tab further down and change the settings accordingly and save the voice under e.g. realspeak Daniel, or whatever relevant. Decide whether you want it to become the default jaws voice on the prompt after saving, which I wouldn't recommend, as it's a bit less responsive than eloquence for other jobs than reading. Then save finally and when you in future use the on the fly command to switch among profiles, it will show up. I'll check tonighton jaws 12, but I'm fairly sure I've covered the necessary steps.

I have an old Dectalk Express that I would like to start using again, since the Dectalk Access32 synthesizer won't work under Windows 7. Unfortunately my old unit has sat in its case in a drawer for the last 5 or 6 years. So after I got it out and put it on the charger for several days, it won't do anything when I turn it on. It used to make sort of a beep and give a startup message. Also when I try to switch to it in JAWS 12, I hear a lot of quiet. I think that the battery is completely dead and won't take a charge.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 11 and excel 2003
Hi, I have started having a problem with jaws Version 11.0.1476 and excel 2003. After having excel open and using it for a while I alt tab away and back and excel will no longer speak. Absolutely no feed back. Just to make things complicated it is inconsistent, sometimes it works and then it won't. I can't figure out what may be causing this behaviour. Any thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Save v Save as
Using the "Save as" feature also allows you to make changes to the original document while keeping the original in tact. An example might be if you have a document created as a letter that you would send on more than one occasion. If you Save the document using "Save as" you can change the file name from the original to the new document saved as "name of document"then add the person who it is going to. Working with many nonprofit organizations I use this type of feature when acknowledging donations where I create the new document and then customize it as necessary including name and address of donor and filling in the amount of the donation as part of the acknowledgement.
