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.
