Hi David, Just in case you were researching my problem, I wanted to say, ‘hold on,’ I solved it. At the time of the roll-out of Windows 10 two years ago, being here in Canada, we couldn’t use Cortana. In order to get access to Cortana, I had chosen to set my Region to the U.S., and yet I had periodically switched it to Canada in order to see whether Cortana was available yet. Anyway, today, I set my region to Canada, as well as my input method to Canada, and I chose the additional options link and chose the speech options available for my region. This seemed to cause Windows to redownload my Canadian voices as well as straighten out all of my installed SAPI voices. I just thought I’d let you know this for your information and reference, in case you find someone else who runs into this problem in the future. I’ll copy the talk list as well.

I’ve found no repair facility for doing this in Windows 10. Back years ago, when Kurzweil and the third-party screen readers use to both have the ability to install SAPI speech, there used to be a SAPI speech repair tool. Does Jaws not have such an advanced feature for the modern OS?

JAWS does not have that feature. You have to repair that in the control panel under sounds and audio devices.

If so, could you advise me how to launch it?

I am not sure what is going on with you, there, but Narrator should work fine. I use both all of the time.

After I did this today, Narrator would not start up afterwards. Admittedly, I'm still running a Jaws demo, and I had to restart my system to get Narrator to load properly. However, even after restarting, I notice that some of my SAPI 5 Canadian voices won't load whereas they had been fine before installing Jaws. So, my suggestion is that, if you might need Narrator after installing Jaws (and who doesn't from time to time?), test that Narrator works properly.
