number 2<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I have tried this driver, and want to report that the voices have nothing
wrong with them. It is true that only Paul, Dennis, Rita, and Harry work
outright, but simple pitch changes render the voices normal-sounding. This
was, as some of you might remember, a problem with the eloquence driver, which
was accordingly fixed. I believe that this driver may also be fixed. Also, an
issue would occur if a particular executable file in the driver folder was not
in use, making the driver unusable. All that must be done to fix this is to
put a shortcut to that executable in the startup folder, before NVDA, so that
the driver is initialized first. As others might remember, this was and still
is true with using the kurzweil dectalk access32 with JAWS. In short, nothing
nonfixable is in this driver, at least at this moment.</DIV>
<P> I have also attached a rough sample of the voices, on a
bad microphone.</P>
