It's just a case of getting used to the speech.
Any speech takes a while to get used to.
Elequence, keynote gold, decTalk and DoubleTalk all have their words they
pronounce differently.
Speech is a very subjective thing. Get used to it.
I hope doubleTalk is here to stay in the BP as it makes things much faster.
I'm sure you would want a device that is fast and responsive and similar
pricing than a device that costs $100 or more just because it has elequence?

Hello,
If they're going to insist on using Doubletalk, the least they could do is
update the pronunciation dictionary so Doubletalk doesn't garble and
misspronounce so many words.  I have several instances each week where I
have to repeat text several times (sometimes letter by letter) just to try
and figure out what Doubletalk is trying to say.
