BlankI have tried this driver, and want to report that the voices have nothing wrong with them. It is true that only Paul, Dennis, Rita, and Harry work outright, but simple pitch changes render the voices normal-sounding. This was, as some of you might remember, a problem with the eloquence driver, which was accordingly fixed. I believe that this driver may also be fixed. Also, an issue would occur if a particular executable file in the driver folder was not in use, making the driver unusable. All that must be done to fix this is to put a shortcut to that executable in the startup folder, before NVDA, so that the driver is initialized first. As others might remember, this was and still is true with using the kurzweil dectalk access32 with JAWS. In short, nothing nonfixable is in this driver, at least at this moment.
    I have also attached a rough sample of the voices, on a bad microphone.
