Hi, A little off topic but how do you get a speech synthesizer to sing? Though I can't stand Decktalk myself, and I find that eEloquence pronounces words like to, for example, in a way that sounds more natural.

Back when I started using screen readers in the 1990's the first hardware sinth I owned was a Dectalk. I fell in love with the Dectalk voice and I always felt it was hundreds of times better than the accent, Keynote, Doubletalk, and other choices at the time. Most Window-Eyes users I know love the Dectalk Access Software, and so do I. I guess I never thought anyone would willingly take Eloquence over Dectalk. Eloquence is terrible and too robotic in my book, and I always felt the Dectalk was more human sounding. In fact, I own the Linux version of Dectalk Access that works with Orca as well.
