I have used the AT&T voices and find them to be the best of the TTS voices that I have herd, (well, except for there attempt to make one sound like a Scotsman, ouch! LOL),
I still think that for me the eloquence voice I use is the best, but that's me, and on the "because he is used to it" issue, probably, I know a lot of people that can't make out what jaws and eloquence is saying although it seems perfectly clear to me.
take care, inthane. For Blind Programming assistance, Information, Useful Programs, and Links to Jamal Mazrui's Text tutorial packages and Applications, visit me at:

Ok. Maybe I am used to it?Yaa, could be. I could be imagining things too. What do you think about voices like the AT & T natural voices? I've been thinking about buying a license to use those, but I'm not sure. They definitely sound pretty natural, but I don't know for sure if that is actually desirable for a programming environment for the blind. Here's a link if you don't know about these voices: http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php Andreas __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
