I feel though that there is already a sapi 4 version which IBM made, and really, the current holders of the copyright for this voice maybe should be given another go. I actually like Espeak and hate the other one, so I don't think its very helpful to lay down the law of what is good and what is bad.

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>http://jeff.vrnw.org/NVDA.htmYou 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.
