Thanks ed - I notice a bit of choppiness at standard speed too. I find that sometimes the voice intonation rises in pitch where I wouldn't expect it, and that spoils the experience for me. That said, I am looking for something easier on the ear, after 12 years of Eloquence - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Green To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2012 11:09 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Ivona voices Hi Andy, I'm using one of the US English Ivona voices at speed and it performs relatively well. Eloquence would probably have the edge though in terms of maintaining its performance at speed as occasionally the Ivona voice I'm using can become a bit choppy.

How well do they perform if speeded up? I'm use to using JAWS with Eloquence at a faster rate [not a lot faster] and would want to ratchet up Brian or Amy a bit - Andy
