I use both eloquence and the vn's keynote gold speech daily and find eloquence clearer if one has to spell something in particular, but provided that one does not use the default settings for the bn's voice, keynote speech is less tiring and has better intonation when one wants to read for relaxation. However, eloquence's faster settings are easier to follow if one has to read a document quickly due to time pressure. Regards Riana

My only experience of "eloquence", is from a demonstration of a Pacmate I attended a few weeks ago. I left, definitely preferring Keynote Gold, but then, I know very well, that if I used "Eloquence" for a short while, I'm sure I'd get used to it. I still, on occasions, listen to books on my faithful old Eureka, though I know most people can't stand its monotonous pronouncements.
