Dectalk is superior to most synthesizers out there but it does have a lot of pronunciation difficulties. It says "strung" instead of "stung" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Midence" <alex.midence@xxxxxxxxx>

I'm partial to Huge Harry, myself. I have him at 425 words per minute on my Reading Edge with inflection set to highest and it sounds just fine to me. Wife thinks it sounds like an auctioneer on speed. Sounds just fine to me though. I never understood why people are down on artificial voices. If you're using a computer, why do you expect it to sound human? Persoanlly, it creeps me out a bit.

I can handle Glenn at a tremendous pace, and never miss a word. As fast as current hardware busses are, it simply may not be possible to get the kind of tight integration and smooth phrasing from an external voice that we can from one incorporated into the screenreader.

Although I prefer jill. "She" sounds... well... in lack of a better phrase, more sweet and plecent to the ear. Although, not as responsive. In fact, I yet haven't found a voice that is as responsive as I would like. Real Speak Solo direct or sappy 5, I still can't find a good sounding responsive voice. That is why I use eloquence for most of my task including web surfing and use the real speak and sappy 5s for reading very long documents.

I've been using Samantha, and have noticed no such shortcomings - and "she" is much more responsive than Daniel. Anyone else notice this? --- Dale E.
