Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding Out Which Synthesizer and Voice I'm Using
Press together the three keys control+JAWS key+s. JAWS will verbalize the currently running synthesizer. Make a mental note of it, then arrow up and down to see if you have others running on your system. Be sure to return focus to the original line before escaping out of the dialog, unless you mean to change synthesizers. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2018 1:44 PM To: JAWS-Users Subject: [JAWS-Users] Finding Out Which Synthesizer and Voice I'm Using Good Afternoon: I admit to not paying much attention to changes in JAWS for the last several versions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding Out Which Synthesizer and Voice I'm Using
Hi. If you have never changed anything with respect to this, you are indeed likely using Eloquence. You can check by going to the JAWS options menu (jaws key + j), and moving to "voice settings". In this dialog you will see the current voice profile you are using, but also other voice settings like pitch, which is controllable in Eloquence but not the newer vocalizer synthesizer, which uses actual voice samples. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: May 6, 2018 1:44 PM To: JAWS-Users Subject: [JAWS-Users] Finding Out Which Synthesizer and Voice I'm Using Good Afternoon: I admit to not paying much attention to changes in JAWS for the last several versions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding Out Which Synthesizer and Voice I'm Using
There are many vocalizer voices, but you have to download each of them separately. You can switch to the vocalizer voice and it will tell you which "person" is being used when you tab to the "person" combo box. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: May 6, 2018 3:38 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding Out Which Synthesizer and Voice I'm Using Thank you.

I'm not finding a person combo box for either Eloquence or Vocalizer. I found a page on the FS/VFO site to download the Vocalizer voices for J 18, but am not finding a sample of the voices which I think would be nice to have before downloading. http://www.freedomscientific.com/Downloads/Synthesizers Am I missing something?

Hi Margaret. > Eloquence it is. There is also a Vocalizer voice. How can I tell which voices (persons) they are. is there more than the one Vocalizer voice? The Vocalizer voices will be named Tom, Samantha, Jill, Nathan, Zoe, Alison and Susan. They also sound much clearer than any synthesized speech such as Eloquence, which I never use anymore.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding Out Which Synthesizer and Voice I'm Using
Hi Margaret, To find the Eloquence voices try the following: 1. Open the Jaws context menues, Insert / Jaws key + J, press enter on, Options, arrow down to Voices, press enter, and press enter on Voice Adjustment. 2. You should be on, Profile Name, make sure Eloquence is highlighted, and tab 4 times to, Voice Adjust All Contexts. 3. Arrow down this list to see what all you can assign voices to. You'll have the PC Cursor Voice, Jaws Cursor Voice, Keyboard Voice, & Tutor and Message Voice options. For the list of voice options tab 1 time into a list of available voices for Eloquence for each of these options. 4. Continue tabbing through each of the options dialogue boxes to see your other voice settings. If you make changes, apply them to each voice, & press okay to save and close when you're finished. I'm sorry for not being very thorough, but this is a rather hard area to explain without typing until Memorial Day! LOL Just tab around and see what all is there to kind of get acclamated to all the dialogues, and you being a very sharp young lady will get an excellent feel as to what they're all about. Take care.
