I agree wholeheartedly. Gail I have to echo the thoughts expressed here, to the degree that I too believe that eloquence tends to be quite idiosyncratic. I would never in a million years refer to it as anything approaching "rock solid." At best, it's glitchy. But then we have DecTalk. More reliable, maybe. But am I going to listen to those voices all day? Not on your life. If I were running the GW ship, I would at least consider offering a synth that is still evolving and improving just as Window-eyes is. To be fair, perhaps they have considered other options and have rejected them for one reason or another. Still, it is my hope that one day Window-Eyes will be packaged with a synth that shows off the product. Meanwhile, no , Eloquence is not the answer, but I'll go right on using it because DecTalk will not be permitted through my speakers.

Run Dec_access32, load Window-eyes or let the computer load, all ok. Unload Window-Eyes, goes away ok, load Window-eyes, all comes back talking. Now change to ... Eloquence. Computer loads WE, all ok, unload WE, all goes away, load WE, ... wait ... wait some more ... some more, ... wait, and wait, and ... nothing, though WE is loaded, nothing speaks. Eloquence, and Vista, seems to me they don't get along since that synthesizer was initially designed with sapi 4 in mind, and here it is ten years or so later and yet, why is Dec_access32 so responsive and accurate with Vista and not good ole Eloquence? With all the issues, I know hind sight is 2020, but seems to me a better synthesizer could have been picked than this troublesome one. Window-Eyes and Eloquence have always had issues, that unwanted pausing so often complained about and nothing done by the maker of Eloquence, since they're so much smarter than all of day to day listeners who have to deal with it's idiosyncrasy, so our opinion doesn't count at all, so they have a dead synthesizer on their hands and so do we, since now, Window-Eyes, supports it as native. Should have picked a better one guys, spend a couple bux and invest time and effort instead of that dead one which is not being developed at all, and has issues with words crashing it, unpredictable crashes without any cause at all but traced to it, and on it goes. Popular, yes, because it was promulgated so much when it was not complicated to use our computers, as complicated as it is today, so the smaller foot print or at least the dependability of Dec_access32 demonstrates itself time and time again. Even sapi 5 synthesizers like ScanSoft Karen or more dependable for not crashing on my computer, let alone Paul and Kate who are even more reliable, so why interact with such a dead horse as this.
