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.

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.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

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.

Am I missing something?  It's been a long day.

Good Afternoon:

I admit to not paying much attention to changes in JAWS for the last
several versions.  Could some kind person please tell me how I can
find out which synthesizer and voice/person I am using?  I'm pretty
sure it is Eloquence and it is a male voice.  I'm running J18 on 64

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

Ah yes. I always forget these JAWS accelerator keys. They are very useful,

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.

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.
