Interestingly enough I prefer the UK English version of the Elloquence synthesizer. I don't know, I just could never stand the American one. But as far as synthes in games go I'm pretty set in my ways. Sapi for status info is fine, but never, and I mean never, should synthes be used for actual characters unless, and that being the key word, they happen to be robot or computer characters. To be qite frank tat's probably the biggest reason I can never manage to maintain my interest in the Sarah game.
