Hello,
Me, anyone remembers the old keynote speech off the humanware products? For me,
its accurate pronunciation still beets things like voice over, where things
like Daniel raise pitch for no apparent reason. Alex, well, didn't use him
that much, so can't comment. Still. I'm not a fan of eloquence. I got the
braille sense to sing, though.

For some of us, it's a voice we will all remember in ten years time. For
others, it's a forgotten memory. In other words, it's personal preference. I
used to love Eloquence a lot until I started using VoiceOver with the
Realspeak/Vocalizer voices and just got used to them. Now, I can use Alex,
and love that over Eloquence any day.

Hello Guys,
Other than making it sing, what is so good about it? I never understood
what the fuss was about. I only use it, because I have no choice. There are
crash codes, it can't even say something basic properly as identify, not
sure why its so loved. Could someone clarify what is lovely about it,
please? If hearing loss and that, I get it. But in general, why is it so
loved?

Eloquence is just so much more precise, so you pretty much know what you'll
get, in my view.

Hi Chris

It's not a question of pleasing everyone. Of course, it's personal choice,
and I find Eloquence more understandable than current I O S voices owing to
my hearing loss. Why should we not have full access to the full range of
synthetic voices covering many platforms in order to meet our personal
needs?

Best wishes

Henry

Same here to be honest. Why have Eloquence when we have Alex? Guess we
can't
please everyone.

Hi Steve,

Have you tried the SAPI Eloquence voice with any screen reader?
I'm wondering how responsive the voice is through SAPI compared with
the built-in versions.

Cheers.

Ian
