What happened to Perfect Paul. Did he go the way of the Dec talk?

When you use synthesizers such as the RealSpeak synthesizers, for example,
is that when you speed them up, the quality of the speech deteriorates
considerably. Also, they use more computer resources than synthesizers such
as Eloquence.
Personally, I find them irritating and annoyingly slow for everyday use,
which is why I would only use them for functions such as "SayAll" with the
appropriate JAWS command
When I first used Eloquence, I did not like it very much. But, like many
other people, I have got used to it.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
