[JAWS-Users] which is the best synthesizer and voice to use with Jaws? Vocalizer Expressive or Vocalizer direct?

[Sachin]

Hi every one, I would like to know which is the best synthesizer and 
voice to use with Jaws. I have never tried a synthesizer except 
Eloquence but now
I am thinking of downloading more voices both Vocalizer Expressive and 
Vocalizer direct.

  Which among these is the best choice?  Hoping to hear from you soon


Thanks

Hi, my first recommendation is to stay away from HP. yes, Del is a top 
brand along with Asus and Lenovo but finally when selecting a laptop 
it’s up to you.

What should I be looking for in a laptop?  I found the following system
requirements on the Freedom Scientific web site, but wonder whether those
are absolute minimum requirements:

  


Summary: Software and hardware specifications for JAWS

  


table with 2 columns and 7 rows

Description

Specification

JAWS Home Use Edition and JAWS Professional

WindowsR 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows ServerR 2012,
and Windows Server 2008

Processor speed

Minimum 1.5 GHz processor

Memory (RAM)

4 GB recommended (64-bit)

2 GB recommended (32-bit)

Required hard disk space

20 MB to 690 MB required per voice for installing Vocalizer Expressive,
Vocalizer Direct, or RealSpeak Solo Direct voices (file sizes will vary
depending on the voice installed)

Video

A display adapter capable of at least 800 x 600 screen resolution with
16-bit color (1024 x 768 screen resolution with 32-bit color recommended)

Sound

Windows compatible sound card (for speech)

table end

  


Any specific recommendations would be appreciated.

  


Are there certain brands of laptops I should stay away from?  Right now, I'm
thinking of either an HP or a Dell.

Hi Again Tom,

I forgot to mention that, although I don't use a laptop, my wife has been 
using Lenovo laptops for several years, & we have never had a problem with 
either 1!  I've also heard many good reviews of Toshiba Satellite laptops. 
Anyways since I don't use a laptop other than keeping my wife's computer 
clean & updated, I should keep my keyboard quiet!  LOL
Take care.
Mike

Hi Tom,

Windows 10 Pro is usually suggested.  with this version you can choose what 
updates you want to install.  With other Windows 10 versions, from what I 
understand, they download & install all updates automatically.

Depending on what  or how hard you plan on using your laptop computer for, 
getting a minimum of 8 GB of RAM would keep you on top of the curve, but you 
could probably go with as little as 4 GB. of quality / latest RAM, DD4.

Again, depending on how hard you're going to work your computer going with a 
I-5 Intel processor / or an equilvalent AMD processor should be good.

Soundcard & Videocard options I'll won't chime in on.

The suggestions above are suggestions made to me by a couple of computer 
savvy people after asking for input on having a desktop computer built for 
Windows 10 for myself.
Take care.
Mike

I must of touched the touch pad on my computer because the whole order of my
inbox reverced placing the oldest messages on the top and the newest ones at
the bottom.  I went into the view menu but I could not find a way to switch
the order of messages back to having the most recent on top.  Using Outlook
