Pam, if you are reading email with Thunderbird, you are definitely using
browse mode. As a matter of fact, when I go to reply to a message, I
must turn off browse mode before I can begin composing the message.
Ah, Ive just gotta mention this little funny. When writing the word
"composing," I mistakenly wrote the word "composting."
Now what I'm telling you about browse mode isn't compost. Try turning on
Browse mode and see if that works. Some times the answers and solutions
aren't that simple, but who knows, maybe it will work for you.
Now as for Eloquence, I'll have to agree with you about the descending
pitch in those circumstances, but that isn't quite the deal breaker that
the reading delivery is proving to be.
And BTW, this issue is not only evident with Eloquence with JFW, but all
other synths included with the program as well.
I also don't hear the speech as in any way slurred, but if I did, I
would also have a problem with it as well. Of course, most of this that
we think we hear is indeed quite subjective, with the possible exception
of my particular complaint <smile>.
Long live Eloquence, with all its faults,
Larry

Browse mode to read emails? I'm not doing it on the web. Oh, the
thing I don't like about eloquence, which is what jaws has, is not
only that it sounds like it's drunk with a plugged up nose, but that
if there is no punctuation mark after a certain amount of time, it
starts winding down like its batteries are dying. After all these
years, they have never fixed that. Shame on them! Pam.
