Hi Josh,

I was forwarded your email through faculty. I would be glad to help you with 
your ESpeak issue.
ESpeak really is a terrible voice engine, and I don't blame you for trying to 
use Eloquence.
I see you're using NVDA. Someone has already coded an Eloquence plugin. I 
wonder if you've tried it? It can be found here:

You should know that this is technically illegal because of the rights to 
Eloquence, (don't get me started how absurd it is; they won't sell the voices, 
and don't want anyone else to have them either) so you are advised to proceed 
with caution.

Always happy to help if you have any further questions.
Genevieve
