Hiya Bill,
i've actually been using Helen with NVDA lately. Just curious but how
many variants did you try with ESpeak? I've settled on the Denis
variant and use it when I need to go through a lot of data fast as I
find it much eassier to understand at faster rates. I know my fast is
nowhere near as fast as I've heard some others using.
Regards,
Laz
