I must agree. The dek access is a shaddow of what the old hardware
used to be, but we don't have to read novels wth it. We're trying to
get our email and websites. So stability should count for something.
Imho, dek access to eloquence is like out of the frying pan into the
fire. Elloquence is a terrible synth. It has been since the days of
jaws 3.1. The only miniscule advantage of using it for english
language is that it talks faster than dek access. Other than that
it's absolutely abominable. If I had a choice between two speech
engines I didn't like, why not take the stable one and use my computer
free of crashes?

Having been a Dectalk Express and Decaccess 32 user since back in
the WE version 1.1 days I personally don't get why people are so
passionate about Eloquence. Of course it is all what you get used
to but I find Dectalk Express and Decaccess 32 much easier to
understand and with less quirks than Eloquence. This new version of
Eloquence with the beta is somewhat more responsive when typing but
that annoying slow down and lower pitch when reading long documents
simply put sucks.
Regarding scripts, I must admit I have a lot to learn about their
possibilities and I am sure they will overall improve the
usefullness of WE but the first one I downloaded and installed from
the script central page called enhanced search crashed when I tried
to use it. Sometimes I am unlucky but I just can't believe that I
was able to pick out the only script off the list that had
problems. I did report this to GW and was informed that they have
not done a real check of all the scripts that they have available.
My thinking is that with the long delay in releasing the beta that
they should have made extra efforts to ensure that all scripts met
the normal GW high standards of quality.
Overall thoughts is that this beta needs some work but I am very
confident that GW will get it together before final release.

And increase the price of Window-Eyes by 200 bucks? No thanks.
