The only synthesizer option available in the current hardware is the
DoubleTalk. Unfortunately when it comes to synthesizers, almost nobody
agrees. Some people love Eloquence, others hate it; some love the DecTalk,
others hate it; some love the DoubleTalk, othershate it. Some liked the
Echo 2, others aren't happy with anything less than a 100% human-sounding
voice (which doesn't exist). But it's a moot point since there are no
other options for the BP hardware.

Hi everyone,
Six or eight months ago there was an extensive discussion about this. I was not around for the conclusion. I remember there was a lot of disagreement and the APH staff were looking into other possibilities. Can anyone fill me in on this?
I have up until this time been mostly an Audible listener and have only used the synthesizer for the manual, some articles and a couple of e-books. The quality of the speech is adequate at best, but I am sure that some will disagree with that. I find it echoey. gurglely and somewhat choppy. It is quite understandable with some things but not with others. I have played around with the settings but find that the defaults work best. Any suggestions? Does anyone else feel this way? Is there any solution.
This is in contrast with Eloquence as used in JAWS which I find clear and smooth.
