Trace,

Try to stick with eSpeak. I know it takes a lot of getting used to but it is so lean and mean it is very responsive and can easily keep up with anything I do.

Having been a PC user for 25 years I can type pretty fast and I need a good responsive voice to keep up, and eSpeak never lets me down. And it has such a small resource footprint, if you don't have much RAM it knocks spots off other synths.

There are a couple of other voices you could try. The svox pico synth is pretty small and has a nice female voice. You can download it from the NVDA site.

Trace,

NVDA is great.  I have switched over to it totally and ditched
Supernova altogether.

There is a lively support email list, the details of which you can
find on the web site.

Trace,
I use NVDA here for everything including iTunes.

I used to use Supernova but ditched it because of the constant upgrade
costs and the fact that I knew more about Supernova than the guys on
their help-desk.

To use NVDA just install it and switch off Supernova.

You can set it up so that when you press control+alt+N it will
start...but stop Supernova first.
