Hi, Ah, that's still one of the issues I'm working on. When using Jaws for speech output there is a keyboard trapping issue I've not found a good way around yet. I did put the JFW demo to sleep and that seemed to work, but even though it frees up the keyboard its not as responsive as using say NVDA, because I think Jaws still tries to capture or trap the keyboard in the background. It is pretty problematic right now. I may have to switch over to standard keyboard events rather than using DirectX to fix that issue.
However, as for ESpeak and Eloquence I don't think they fit well into a game environment, but its whatever works. With newer versions of Jaws like Jaws 12 there is plenty of RealSpeak Direct voices like Tom, Karen, Jennifer, Daniel, etc so all the user has to do is download and install a RealSpeak direct voice, set Jaws up to use that, and the game will use the RealSpeak voices instead of Eloquence. So hopefully it is things like that which will provide a better solution than just ESpeak or Eloquence. Cheers!
