When I first got my braille note, I didn't like the speech much. I considered it far superior to my old braille and Speak, but not nearly as clear as eloquence and especially not as clear as my dec talk. I still like eloquence better because it has a better track record for pronunciation and better inflection. however, having said that, I routinely read books on my BN. Usually web braille, but when I'm busy or reading at night, I use speech and not braille. and I have gotten very comfortable with the speech and even enjoy some of its quirks. Such as, saying "inches" for in. Or "number" for no. Unless Human ware had a specific reason for wanting to switch speech, I think the one on the BN is just fine. Well, unless there ever was a time a customer could choose the speech desired, such as you can do with GW's lap talk.

I wish they would do that. The software Keynote Gold was exceptional speech in its time, and I used to use it with Window-Eyes, but because of Pulsedata, as they were then, insisting on using a now ancient method of copy protecting it, you can't now use it under Windows XP. If they got rid of Everlock, and did a little development, and resurrected it for XP, you could use it for JAWS, Window-Eyes, or whatever you wanted to use it with. I would prefer them to do this, than to put Eloquence, a much inferior synth, into the Braillenote. Just my opinion. All the best -- Computer Room Services: the long cane for blind computer users.

Maybe it would be possible to add the multilingual eloquence as an option for speech software on the braillenote that could run with KeySoft?
