Hello Flint,
I too Prefer KNG (KEY-NOTE-GOLD) I have found away to use it even
when the BRAILLENOTE / Voicenote Would Use Eloquence.
I have a hearing impairment in both ears so I cannot even really
Understand The Eloquence Speech.
But to answer your question:
it that is:
the BRAILLENOTE / VOICENOTE only insists on using the ELOQUENCE
SPEECH when reading a daisy book and/or daisy newspaper from NFB
NEWSLINE.
I have found a way around the daisy book problem from BOOKSHARE.
Just download the .brf books with the .bks2 extension.
That way it will read the book in KNG SPEECH!
However, I haven't figured out away around the daisy NFB NEWSLINE
newspapers yet.
I am trying to play around with the adult female and child
eloquence voices E.G:
Make Them lower/higher pitched;
Make them slower/faster speaking;
Make them softer/louder in volume;
Lower/raise the punctuation level;
Lower/raise the overall speech level, ETC; ETC; ETC.
I may have found a combination of the things listed above:
that I can just, (just), BARELY (barely), Hear; and tolerate.
(small smile):
However, I am hoping That HUMANWARE Changes it back to it being
our choice of which synthesizer to use?!?
NO-MATTER what we're doing:
Whether it's reading an email;
GOING through a list of menu OPTIONS;
GOING on the web to read;
or Going in keybook To read a book;
and/or newspaper;
and/or magazine?!?
PLEAS Do This Humanware PLEASE!
THANK YOU!
I am Using a:
VOICENOTE MPOWER BT, KEYSOFT 8.0, Windows CE 4.2, BUILD 20.
I Hope TO HEAR From You Again Very Soon!
May GOD BLESS You, And Give You HIS PEACE!
Sincerely, In Our LORD And SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, And Our BLESSED
VIRGIN MOTHER Mary, Kristen...(Kristen: A Novice In THE ORDER OF

Subject: [Braillenote] Firmware 8.0 - Eloquence when reading
question
I read in the feature list for Keysoft 8 that Eloquence is now
used
when reading, even if KNG is set as the system synth.
Is this a permanent non-changeable option?
Call me crazy, but I'm one of the few who actually enjoys
listening to
text with KNG. Not that I have anything against Eloquence, but
there's
something about KNG I like - it's one of the reasons I ended up
going
with a BrailleNote.
Also, I'd like to see the ability to add the British UK voice to
Eloquence - That might mitigate the effect for me a bit, as I
tolerate
that one better than the American English version for
long-reading
sessions.
I've always grieved the loss of KNG software for the PC....
Flint
