RealSpeak Solo and Eloquence Languages for PAC Mate Omni
To use any of the RealSpeak voices, you must be running PAC Mate Omni release 6.5 or later. The Eloquence language modules can be installed on any version of PAC Mate Omni as well as older PAC Mates running a release no earlier than 2.5.
These voices are available at no charge. The RealSpeak Solo voices can be installed into main memory or on a CompactFlash® card. If you intend to install more than one voice, it is recommended that you install them onto a CompactFlash card, as each voice requires at least 10 megabytes of storage space. Additional Eloquence languages are always installed to main memory, and each language will occupy between 1.5 and 2 MB of space. Once a voice is installed, you can open the Voice Settings dialog box, move to the Secondary page, and configure it as your secondary voice, which is active when you use INSERT+S, L on the QX or S CHORD, L on the BX to toggle between the primary and secondary voice. For more information on configuring the secondary voice, refer to the PAC Mate Omni documentation.

Vocalizer Direct Voices
Vocalizer Expressive Voices Version 1
Vocalizer Expressive version 1 voices are available for use with JAWS 15, JAWS 16, JAWS 17 and MAGic 13.1.
These voices offer many benefits including pitch adjustment, improved performance, especially in the areas of latency and speech quality, as well as support for a variety of languages.
Each voice can be downloaded as high premium or premium.
The high premium voices are large files, but offer the highest quality speech.
The premium voices offer very good speech quality and a smaller file size.
Both high premium and premium versions of a voice can be installed on the same computer so they can be compared.
Vocalizer Expressive Voices Version 2
Vocalizer Expressive version 2 voices are available for use with Fusion 11, JAWS 18, ZoomText 2018, and MAGic 14 (or later for each application).
These voices are offered in two forms: compact voices and individual high premium voices.
The compact voices are smaller files and take up less disk space on your computer. As a result, you can download a single file that contains all voices and dialects for a selected language.
These voices offer very good speech quality at fast speech rates. The high premium voices are larger files, but offer the highest quality speech.
Note: When you install a version 2 voice, any version 1 voices installed on your computer are no longer available in your voice profiles for use with JAWS 18 or later and MAGic 14 or later.
