You probably aren't using the Eloquence synthesizer that ships with
Window-Eyes and using the Eloquence fix with NVDA.

Furthermore, some of us only have access to Anna withWindows
7. Will we ever get the other Sapi voices back, or will we need to
upgrade toWindows 8 to see if this bug is fixed?

I agree,
I haven't found one that is as natural sounding and yet responsive.

What a shame they aren't keeping up with updating Eloquence.
In my estimation, it is the most clear, and human sounding
synth out there. If it is left to die, it will be a very sad
day indeed!

Eloquence has certain combinations of letters that will
cause it to blow up. This is obviously bad because it
takes Window-Eyes with it. As we have Window-Eyes
upgrades we incorporate those problem combinations into
Window-Eyes itself so it doesn't surprise me that shutting
down the Eloquence fix app made no difference and in fact,
the app was probably already stopped because it realized
the version of Window-Eyes running has the fix built into it.
Note Nuance is not willing to put any resources into
fixing Eloquence so we are left trying to block anything
that could potentially make your system unstable.

Thanks, then I know, it is none of my problem. Smile.
GW, could you please investigate? Would this happen to
have anything to do with your incorporation of the
Eloquence Fix in the 7.5 series? I just wonder, since it
did not happen in older versions of WE, but I can't
remember exactly when I noticed it first time. So, I
wonder if it could be something the staff accidentialy
changed in one of the newer versions of WE.

I tried your examples in MS Word 2010 and confirm
this behavior.

I have noticed a lacking pronunciation, with my
Eloquence synthesizer. This persist even with all
apps turned off. Wonder if this is something others
can confirm.
The problem arises when a word ends in an H, followed
by the apostrophe and an S. Like:
Isaiah's,
Jeremiah's
and so forth.
In those cases, the ending S is not pronounced. Only
the main part of the word.
How does the Eloquence with other users do with these
cases? Just wondered if this is only on my system,
although it happens on both machines here, or if this
would be a bug in WE.
Running XP, WE7.5.4.1.
