Hi Rick,
I sent you the setup zip file for ESpeak so unzip it and give it a try. It
is free software so you don't have to worry about buying it.
I noted the readme file it has. It some times works but you can get 5
voices installed when following it. I think the default is 3.
If you experiment with those settings you can just uninstall and do the 5
voice setup when installing again.

Thanks Bruce.
But, I just tried DecTalk and it wants me to buy it just like Eloquence so I
cant try it out before plopping down the greenies.
How hard is it to download, register and install a synth?
I am worried about making a mistake and screwing up my existing setup and
then having no speech to fix things after.

Hi Rick,
Synthesizer Dectalk
I use Screen Tone L, Keyboard Tone M and Mouse Tone Q
With a rate of 62 for screen and mouse, with keyboard set at 72
With screen and mouse pitch at 3 and keyboard at 4
But everything is dependent on your hearing ability.

Hi: I am using one of the default synths and it has a little lag and
doesn't read capitals with a noticible rise in pitch for cap letters whin using
read character (right arrow) and especially when selecting characters.
It is just clunky compared to what I was use to using Eloquence on my old
xp machine.
First, which voices have you found read and type clearly at high speeds, I
type and read letters and numbers as well as words and paragraphs pretty fast
since I have touch typed for about 40 or 50 years now.
What synths have you found the most responsive while programming and have
you downloaded any synths or voices from GW - I read the process and it sounds
confusing to a simple minded bloke like me.
I am leaning twoard Eloquence but without trying other synths, not just
hearing them but use them tpityping and reading characters I don't have a clue
how they will respond to my high-speed need for clarity.
Any suggestions on how to try them out or on how to pick one for
programming?
