I wasn't referring to a punctuation problem, just the kind of close look I would give a Braille document, if I wanted to really see how something was written or spelled. I stick with "most" for just about everything except The Bible.

I think you may be able to fix the punctuation problems if you set your punctuation to controlled by jaws from controlled by synthesizer. To me the realspeak voices for jaws8, are a little less responsive and they sound like there's some static in there, how someone would sound with a scratchy throat. There certainly more human like. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)" <Ted.Lisle@xxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 9:27 AM Subject: RE: What might be the best sappi voices? Eloquence wins hands down over RealSpeak in overall intelligibility. I almost never ask for a repeat, unless I need to more closely examine spelling or punctuation. I formed a favorable impression of IBM's voices, based upon my testing of their speaking Web browser several years ago.

Sadly the ones that sound really good, real voice like are not very responsive. When I hit tab I want to hear tab not a 2 second pause and then tab. Even with the new real speak voices it's all most like I can feel the computer straining to work while it's speaking. Eloquence seems to be the best one when it comes to responsiveness, Next to that is the IBM voice in open book and then maybe AT&T or one of the others I can't remember right now. Of course if you just want something that sounds really good but don't care how sluggish your computer is go for any of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Skarstad" <toonhead@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 8:01 AM Subject: Re: What might be the best sappi voices? > That all depends on what voice you like.
