I have never been impressed by the new better voices. I used them to try and quickly returned to eloquence.

After some thought, I decided to switch my primary synthesiser back to Eloquence. I must say, that JAWS is now acting a lot more like the robust and response screen-reader I would expect on such a relatively fast machine. I spent the past year listening to a nice, mannered, human-sounding voice, but wondering why the devil my computer was being just as slow and clunky at times as my XP machine was. Well, now I have the answer. Duh. These Vocalizer voices are resource-intensive and slow the machine down. Anybody else noticed this? I guess it's a foregone conclusion, but I just assumed my machine would be able to handle it well. I think it'd be ok for reading, but for all practical purposes, well, the trade in favour of performance is an obvious no-brainer. So, what synths does everyone use here, anyway? What are your thoughts on all the software synths out there nowadays? Curiosity question. Also, Eloquence - y'know, it's kind of good to have the old man back.
