There was a message in this thread stating that eloquence is good for
reading books, for the person who wrote the message. I somehow deleted that
message. but this is what I wanted to ask. When I try reading books using
eloquence on the BN, there are breaks in speech. if you use jaws for reading
the speech is continuous. Does everyone feel that difference between reading
with jaws and reading using eloquence on the bn?

Tara,
When the mPower was first introduced in June of 2005, all BrailleNote models
then had KeyNOte Gold speech built-in. Since mPower had more memory and
multi-channel sound card (meaning that you can hear speech and a media file
at the same time), the inclusion of Eloquence was possible. By default,
every BrailleNote models including the mPower, ship with KeyNote Gold
built-in (except the mPower, which has both KNG and Eloq since KeySoft 7.0).

This might be not relevant to the thread.
But what purpose does it serve switching synthesisers?
As soon as I found eloquence on the unit I changed over to eloquence, for
some reason by default you get keygold. I might be missing the extra
advantage you might have, if you use keygold?

Matt,
I think this cannot be done because the settings are hardware-based and
there is no way of doing that. I haven't tried it with JAWS (using different
settings for each of the synthesizers that I have).

Subject: [Braillenote] Suggestion: different speech settings for KeynoteGold
and Eloquence
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I've been off the list for a bit.
If there's already been a discussion on the topic, don't bother replying.
Currently, when switching between Eloquence and Keynote Gold and vice-versa,
the speech settings are retained globally. For example, if I am using
eloquence at rate 13 and then switch to Keynote, it is now set at rate 13.
If I change the speech rate of Keynote to 11 and switch back to Eloquence,
Eloquence is now at rate 11.
I can personally understand Eloquence at a faster speech rate than Keynote
because I use Eloquence every day with JAWS on the computer. I would,
therefore, like to be able to set Eloquence at rate 13 and Keynote at rate
10 or 11, and not have to change the speech rate every time I change
synthesizer. That is, I would like to have speech settings stored according
to synthesizer, rather than on a global basis. Is there any chance we could
have this implamented in the next version, as it's such a minor change?
Can we have pronunciation dictionaries stored on a synth by synth basis as
well? (I'm not sure if this is already the case as I don't use the
dictionary, but thought I'd throw the idea in as a footnote.)
Thanks,
Matthew
