Hi Saqib,

No, you can't buy Eloquence from us.

Yes, Acapela works well with System Access, and is more responsive than the
Realspeak voices.

All the best

Steve

Hi. Steve. Can Eloquence voices be purchased from you. Have you tried 
Acapela voices with System Access? I am looking for an alternative voice to 
the Neospeach Engine. I had tried Real Speak Daniel but experienced a lot of

sluggishness with SA.
