Hi Rick, I sent you the setup zip file for ESpeak so unzip it and give it a try. It is free software so you don't have to worry about buying it. I noted the readme file it has. It some times works but you can get 5 voices installed when following it. I think the default is 3. If you experiment with those settings you can just uninstall and do the 5 voice setup when installing again.

But, I just tried DecTalk and it wants me to buy it just like Eloquence so I cant try it out before plopping down the greenies. How hard is it to download, register and install a synth? I am worried about making a mistake and screwing up my existing setup and then having no speech to fix things after.

Bruce Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 4:58 AM Subject: WE Voices For Programming Hi: I am using one of the default synths and it has a little lag and doesn't read capitals with a noticible rise in pitch for cap letters whin using read character (right arrow) and especially when selecting characters. It is just clunky compared to what I was use to using Eloquence on my old xp machine. First, which voices have you found read and type clearly at high speeds, I type and read letters and numbers as well as words and paragraphs pretty fast since I have touch typed for about 40 or 50 years now. What synths have you found the most responsive while programming and have you downloaded any synths or voices from GW - I read the process and it sounds confusing to a simple minded bloke like me. I am leaning twoard Eloquence but without trying other synths, not just hearing them but use them tpityping and reading characters I don't have a clue how they will respond to my high-speed need for clarity. Any suggestions on how to try them out or on how to pick one for programming?
