talk about subjective, I hated DecTalk except when it sang, that was pretty funny but I am glad I never had to work with it long term.
That said, I am not overly crazy about any of the Nuance voices, I can use them with Jaws but, I still prefer Eloquence partly because it tells me better about capital letters etc and partly because I hear it all day long and then some. I keep my phone on Samantha and over the years I am used to her quirks, can't say I love them but I can figure it all out in the long run. I don't want to change my country or anything like that. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Barry Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2013 7:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Word Recognition Using High-quality and Compact Voices Yes. But they are named by Nuance. I have all the English Nuance voices on my PC using Window-eyes. There are five, as I recall Samantha voices alone ranging from compact to something like super high quality or some such. Apple offers a choice of what Nuance has. And, for my PC I still prefer the old Dec Access32. Nothing clearer or more responsive. At 09:36 AM 6/1/2013, you wrote: >Ah! > >I'm not sure what you mean.
