Umm. Okay. I was asking about the Dectalk 32. I have no experience with 
anything but Eloquence, except for a few trial runs with these RealSpeak 
voices that come as accessories with Jaws 8. I don't consider them practical 
alternatives to my good old Eloquence Reed, in terms of either 
responsiveness or phonetic clarity. I enjoy a few of the accents, but that's 
about it. So I wouldn't use these just to avoid some problem like the 
epileptic Caesar. Or was it Julius Seizure,ruler of the Roman Empire?

So I was asking about the DecTalk 32 someone recommended. I just wanted to 
know where you get that synth, and is it software or hardware. Again, maybe 
I misunderstand the response below, but it seemed as if I asked about 
DecTalk 32 and was told about RealSpeak in reply. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Hi.  No, they are software, just like JAWS.  check out

http://www.nextup.com, on that site, you can purchase some of the
realspeak solo voices, but as I said previously if you have the CD
version of JAWS 8, you should also have a CD with the realspeak
voices.  They are not tied to JAWS, so any other program that uses
sapi 5 synthesizers, even other screenreaders on your system can use them.
