When is iPhone getting Eloquence?
That will be great!

Re.: The request for jaws to support SAPI4 voices.

Something to keep in mind is that many of these were only ever
available in 32-bit variants. They are simply not going to play nice
with a 64-bit jaws, no matter what FS might do.

Nobody that I am aware of developed Eloquence in Android beyond 32 bit
support.
I have Eloquence 32 bit for Android, but haven't used it beyond Android 6 or

7, so I don't know if it would work on more recent Androids.
Maybe there is a 64 bit of Eloquence for Android too.

Well, as far as their supporting Eloquence, I suspect it's the same
way jaws does, by using an up-to-date build. That's a far different
thing from the classic SAPI voices, many of which no longer have
support of any kind.

Josh 

all apple products will be getting eloquence in early to mid September when IOS16 comes out. I am testing a developer beta of IOS16 right now and eloquence is working great on my iPhone13, iPhone SE2020 and iPad 8th generation devices aside from some bugs that I already reported and that should be fixed when the full IOS16 is released officially in early fall.

I wonder if jaws could be scripted to work withh the decTalk dlls I already have? 

How about the IBM Veia voice? Will there be ways to make it work on JAWS?
