Thanks Ibrahim and Steve. Since our correspondent's main problem seems
to be with the American voice, can you tell me how to direct him to get
the British Eloquence voice please?

Hi.
 
I wouldn't touch that bloody real speak with a ten foot barge pole.
Firstly, to answer Ian's query, the voices used are Jennifer for UK
English and Jane for US.  I have a 6680 and demoed talks 2.5 with real
speech.  Firstly, the application takes a lot of room on a memory card
(approximately 5-7 MB) and it is extremely slow if not left alone IE
pressing keys quickly on the phone e.g when writing text messages.  For
the time being, stick to the eloquence US or UK voices as they provide
adequate speech output that is intelligible and does not take up too
much resources.
 
Warmest, Ibrahim

        Hello Ian
         
        Afraid not sure on the actually voice name but yes, in that the
new talks, version 2.5 can use the realspeak  synth.  I'd direct your
enquiry to Steve Nutt at computer room services.

        An In Touch listener has contacted us to ask whether there is a
version of Talks which uses Scnasoft's new Real speak Emily or Daniel
voices?  Anyone know the answer please?
