I like BN's speech, its better than jaws, especially the Spanish speech.
Sarai and Rosie, Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths."

Another thing to consider is that the BN is equipped with a hardware speech
synth, namely KeyNote Gold. Eloquence, on the other hand, is what is called
a software synth. Such software synths use massive amounts of not only user
memory but also a lot of disk storage space. As it stands, the BN just
doesn't have either the processor speed or the storage to handle software
speech. But, in the words of the Beach Boys, "wouldn't it be nice!"

Well, I cannot imagine that being an option.
A Braillenote is a PDA, not a full-fledged computer. Accordingly, its
resources are limited. None of the other PDAs currently on the market
offer two speech synthesizers, and I believe resources and cost
effectiveness are the issue here.
I believe that in a previous message you mentioned voice recognition.
This particular activity requires a fast processor and a good deal of
system memory in order to function correctly.
I believe that it is currently beyond any PDA. Certain functions might
be included, in other words, a PDA might be able to recognize an
extremely limited set of phrases, however something like J-Say or Dragon
Naturally Speaking simply isn't in the cards.

Hi to all. I suggest in the future having a choice to purchase the BN
with
the voice as is or with Eloquence. Thanks. Beth
