a college professor whose message is below seems willing to help maybe even get students involved on working on espeak as well.
-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Modifying ESpeak to Use Eloquence Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2014 19:14:50 +0000 From: Smith, Genevieve <gsmit209@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: joshknnd1982@xxxxxxxxx <joshknnd1982@xxxxxxxxx> 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: http://jeff.vrnw.org/NVDA.htm 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
