My home machine doesn't have a problem with speed, it just isn't as
comprehensible.

My system isn't really able to speak any faster with the natural
sounding voices. What it can do is sustain far higher loads of actual
work and still be able to speak without becoming choppy. That was a
real problem for me with my previous system (a dual AMD something or
other with 4gb ram running WinXP Pro) on that system, pretty much as
soon as I put load on it I had to quit have it trying to speak until the
work was done.

Maybe Soronel's 32G 8-core unit can do it?

I also don't think so. On the subject of voices, does anyone know if
the Ivona voices are also slowish and unresponsive? I'd like a high
quality voice that's fast like eloquence.
Thanks
Ari

Robert,

I don't think you can alter the pitch in Real Speak voices, like you
can with Eloquence.

My JAWS 13 came with the real speak solo direct voices, and the
training recommends using them. Well they aren't as good as what came
with my old JAWS 8 version. OK fine, but I can't find a way to change
the pitch on uppercase letters. Am I missing something? Thanks...Bob
