Heblo Steve,
Also, its UK accent is like there's something in the mouth, but nothing more.
And I'm not sure why I should start in the dictionary with such basic words,
when I paid for the speech.
Besides, eloquence is the only one who says it this way. Leaves me wondering.

Hi,

That is correct for the US pronunciation, but not for the UK.

However, don't forget that the program has its own dictionary, so you can
correct it once for all screen readers.

All the best

Steve

Hello,
Identify. It can say it, but its wrong. I can also provide crash codes off
list, that it can't pronounce for real.

Hi,

I'm curious now. Give me one common word that Eloquence can't pronounce.
I
think the dictionary in there is tremendous.

All the best

Steve

Hello,
Actually, these new human sounding voices are even worse. My problem is
the
pronunciation of eloquence.

When I was a lawyer, and needed to listen to hundreds of pages of text
every
day, I found that Eloquence was the best speech to enable me to spot a
typo
at a hundred paces and at seventy miles per hour. It was the virtually
flawless pronunciation which was so good, for example to distinguish
between
"correct" and "corect" (that time missing an R), and the ability of Jaws
to
alter common words which may have been mispronounced which made it the
speech of choice for me.

That said, I quite understand that others, who may not need that degree
of
precision, would prefer the more human sounding voices.

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
