Sorry, you're wrong. There's about 18 variants of male and female voices for US Google TTS. All the best Steve

Actually it does, but you just need to listen a bit harder. Comma pauses are shorter than full stop pauses, so I have no problem with this. What it doesn’t do is question mark inflection, which

ESpeak is just horrible, period. All the best Steve

Actually, there are other problems with American English which makes me stick with Eloquence for British English. Americans don’t know how to write dates properly, they are the only country that do

Why should they do this? You’re effectively stopping Code Factory from making money. Just buy Eloquence and be done with it. Besides, Microsoft wouldn’t maintain it. All the best Steve

Hi Josh, Eloquence? Open-sourced? Owned by Microsoft? You're joking aren't ya? Seriously though. The sad and sorry fact is, Eloquence, like Keynote, is a very old synthesiser indeed. With that in

Hello all I am still using the old Skype program, but if I am going to be pushed to use the Universal Windows Skype app, I need to find out how to go about handling this issue: I sometimes dial into

The one problem with Google TTS, especially in Android and ChromeOS, is that it inflects commas and periods the same, just ing differently. Eloquence handles commas in all kinds of situations, even,

Very interesting collection of questions, Joseph! Thank you for putting this list together. For me, it did a good job of pointing out what I do NOT know about N V D A. I am a programmer by profession,

Whatever you call it, E-Speak introduces considerable distortion when the speech is speeded up and the distortion starts at not that fast a speed up. It gets worse as you increase speed. Gene

I also suspect that in the case of Eloquence, high speed intelligibility is better, perhaps much better, when using American English instead of Brittish English. I enjoy listening to real Brittish
