If you're talking about the CTRL-R reading function, this operates through Windows. For Vista and Win7 just type "Voice" in the search bar under the main program menu. It should bring up the MS Voice reader program the voice can be changed there (if you have more than one voice). Some other voices are available on-line but it's been a while since I've looked for them. If you've got an XP system, it's something similar, through Control Panel, but I don't remember right now, and I no longer have an XP machine at home.

Thanks Richard! I've made it that far but I have only one narrator in my system. Can anyone help me with the process of "recruiting" other narrators? I tried downloading another voice but it doesn't seem to install itself in my computer. Thank you beforehand to anyone who cal help!

this might help so you can change to the other voice you installed.
I too, like many others don't find the default voice on windows 7 to my liking. After a bit of searching around I found this solution. I'm not an educated Geek so I can't explain why it works but it worked for me with absolutely no bad effects. I had several other voices on my computer which were only available with another text reading application but not accessible with the control panel (Speech Recognition, Text to Speech settings). When I run this batch it opens the Control Panel, Text to Speech interface and all the voices on my computer become available. What ever you pick then becomes the default voice for Windows 7 and stays that way even thru a restart of your computer. You can sill go to the control panel and go back to the original default voice after running the bat. file but you will have to run it again if you want to go back to one of your own voices. The batch file consists of the following text;
cd c:\
cd c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX
sapi.cpl
to create it, open wordpad copy the above 3 lines , save the file, rename it to a .bat file, then double click it.
You can just try it out by going to a command prompt (Start button then type command then enter) and then putting in each line of above seperately hitting enter after each line.
Hope this helped.0 -
FYI, if your computer is 32-bit (as most are), the code would be this instead:
cd c:\
cd c:\Windows\System32\Speech\SpeechUX
