I can completely relate to this. While I do prefer key echo to be on when I'm typing on a PC using a screen reader, the same is not true for the BN. There is just enough of a lag to be very distracting.

I spent nearly 45 years of my life not hearing the letters spoken when I typed so having them speak is still new even after 6 years.

I simply use the elloquence when reading books and the other when I type. I am extremely fast on my qwerty so need something which will keep up with me.
