Hello, Thanks for the Help I now have the voices working. However there's a few problems: 1. Years and currency signs aren't spoken correctly. 2. After exiting JFW and restarting it, the voices pitch sounds high. Can we preferably take this discuss off list so we can keep to the main topic?

You must first install espeak. That's the espeak-1.20-win.zip download. This installs the eSpeak SAPI5 speech engine, and puts the data files in C:\Program Files\eSpeak\espeak-data. eSpeak voices should now appear in the SAPI5 voices list in programs such as screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, Window-Eyes) and other programs such as the simple TTSApp which is installed in C:\Program Files\eSpeak as part of the espeak installation. You only need the espeakedit program (that's the espeakedit-1.20-win.zip download) if you want to edit the data (eg. the pronunciation rules). It expects data files to already be in C:\Program Files\eSpeak. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
