IBM Viavoice when possible. It stopped working in xp for a while, so I had
to try neo-speech. the crashes still happened during that time. I did a
repair and viavoice came back. The tech support person from Kurzweil said
if that worked after using eloquence with jaws to have the login speak, I
was just lucky, because they conflict. I'm glad I was lucky because
neo-speech doesn't allow me to hear the content of my book clearly enough
to be sure I have fixed some mistakes, and it doesn't know how to pronounce
anything. It's also somewhat sluggish. Microsoft speech is only slightly
better than the first synthesizer ever created, and a lot less interesting.
lol
In windows 98 which is on the same computer, I used to have crashes, but now
with version 8 I really rarely have them, and it was already better in
version 7. I saw plenty of tts.ocx telling me it was time to crash before
that. though. It has lost the ability to use my keynote software
synthesizer, and a repair or reinstall does nothing for that. I'm upset
about it, but I can use viavoice successfully.
