Rahule, I use eloquence for normal screen reader use. But for reading long documents, I try to get used to Expressive voices like Ava and Samantha. But as I mentioned earlier, in long sentences and texts, the pause length between words and terms are not well defined for me to be able to get as much as I need. So it becomes frustrating after 30 or 40 minutes.
Also, thank you all other folks who gave me responses. Ali On 5/7/15, Rahul Bajaj via Jfw <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ali: > > Being a law student, I can totally identify with your concerns.
