Tony I would agree with you there re Jaws Eloquence and the American tongue. When I first started with computers I hated any form of speech and as I had to depend on it more and more, the Dolphin Hal was my preferred choice. I only moved or should I say got a copy of Jaws 9.0 because it did something for me that Supernova would not do. I still keep to Supernova as much as possible but I have become acclimatized to the Jaws American accent now. At first I could not get a Talks phone because the speech drove me mad but this weekend I got my phone with the Talks and honestly Tony I do not know myself. It has a Jaws Eloquence voice but I am absolutely delighted with my new phone and coming to know it and its functions very quickly. I'll even get on to that text messaging yet, I can see that.
