I asked because the person I originally responded to said that they had heard that eloquence was not being shipped with Window-Eyes starting with 8.0. I just wanted to clear the air because I wasn't sure. Thanks to all who responded.

Customers upgrading from previous Window-Eyes releases will still have access to DECTalk, but a license must be purchased in order to use Vocalizer. Similarly, new Window-Eyes 8.0 customers who wish to use DECTalk Access 32 will need to purchase a license for that synthesizer. For more information, please visit www.gwmicro.com/voices. Note that both versions include the Eloquence synthesizer. (end of readme text) I really don't understand the confusion. GW has never stated in any communication that Eloquence Window-Eyes is being dropped. Since you have WE 7.5X your copy will include DecTalk authorization. If you want Vocalizer as well you can purchase the authorization. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren Logan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 8:09 AM Subject: RE: regarding with we 8 can you still run eloquence and dec access So both Eloquence and Dectalk are no longer being shipped with Window-Eyes? Or just Dectalk. I'm asking because I'm going to be upgrading to Windows7 or 8 in the near future and I know the SAPI Eloquence is not supported on these later systems.
