Hello, LOL, I agree with Alex. Above 70%, he just goes... HE even crashed during my torture test of a speech synthesizer the other day. I managed to turn VO off and then back on. Unfortunately, since there is not a pronunciation dictionary, you can't protect yourself, either. I think eloquence is no longer made as of 2001? I also go for mad speeds, but I'm in need of times, to get used to the way voice over says things. I even think the UK Female Siri is trying to be too real, and while I'm using her, I'd go back to Samantha, if the enhanced version was usable, but it unfortunately isn't really.
