I used JAWS 15 with FireFox. I couldn't get the buttons for the samples to
work with IE using any method in JAWS. I also preferred voice 3.

Hello
I also used my iPhone, and it worked fine.
I didn't really like any of them to be honest, but voice 3 is the one i
would use.
Thanks

thought thatnumber 3 voice was the best of the bunch but none of the voices
were quite as good as the microsoft voiceAnna.  Most were some better than
the default voice that you hear when you first install nvda.  I have yet to
hear a voicethat I would use so they have some work to do in my opinion if
they want to come up with a voice.  I would perhaps give the third sample
voice a chance it is acceptable but not quite what I would prefer.  Just my
thoughts hear.
