MessageWell Steve, I don't personally like it on the PC, but maybe that's just 
because I'm not used to it. On the phone however I don't think I could get used 
to it at all!

  Hi Barbara,

   

  I wouldn't go that far, I think Dectalk is just as responsive. Not so nice on 
phones, but on the PC it is good IMHO.

   

  All the best

  Having tried alternative voices with TALKS, JAWS and Window Eyes, in my 
personal view nothing beats Eloquence for productivity. Yes, some sound nicer, 
but if you just want to get quickly on with what you are doing, then Eloquence 
is the only voice there is in my opinion.

    Hi Ibrahim,

     

    But they are a lot less responsive and they stutter.  The best phone I have 
heard the Vocalisers on is the N86, but even then it is like swimming through 
treacle compared to Eloquence, especially at high speeds.

     

    All the best

    Hi.

     

    Oh, definatly, the vocalizer voices are better.  I use them with Bluetooth 
headsets and they're much more naturally sounding than eloquence for reading.  
The real speak voices are so low quality I just don't bother with them.

     

    All the best, Ibrahim.

        It's a shame that the Realspeak voices don't work properly on the E71 
as I liked the Daniel voice. It just breaks up all the time.

        I first got my Talks from Vodafone and then when I got my N95 Standard 
I purchased the Real Speak voices.  One copy is enough for me at £25.00 (at the 
time) to know that Eloquence is the voice for me! *smile*.

          You are quite right Eleanor. However, can't say how many I've sold, 
but only one person has bought RealSpeak as their initial package. Most seem to 
go for Eloquence and then perhaps add the others later.

            Oh no Barbra, the customer like me, will not know that and indeed I 
only knew of it through this list.  Other customers on the other hand will 
research the product very well prior to purchase.  I never gave it a thought 
actually, the fact that there might be other voices.

              I am aware of that as you know, but unless a customer states 
otherwise, the assumption is that they want Eloquence. I think the onis is on 
the customer to say otherwise if they want differently.

                You can choose from us too.  Barbara, you just need to tell us 
which voice you want when you purchase.

                 

                All the best

                Hi Barbra.

                 

                Not so.  If you go to www.talknav.com, you can choose the voice 
that talks comes with at time of purchase.

                  If you don't request otherwise, TALKS comes with Eloquence. 
That voice is included in the price. As has been said, additional voices are 
extra. So you do have a voice package, the one which came with TALKS at time of 
purchase.

                          Hi Carol.

                           

                          That is simply not the case.  When you buy talks, you 
can choose whether you want the vocalizer/realspeak voices or the eloquence 
voices at time of purchase.  If you choose one, you can use those voices in 
perpetuity unless or until you decide you want to buy the other voices in which 
case you'll have both sets of voices to choose from.

                           

                          All the best, Ibrahim.
