It's a bit odd that they actually charge for Eloquence given that it's essentially the de facto standard tts engine when it comes to Windows screen readers. Even though they're offering it free for a time the move itself seemed odd to me. I never liked eloquence much personally, it always sounded to me like a robot with a permanent head cold and plugged nose. DECTalk is, in my opinion, better though perhaps that's because I grew up with hardware DECTalk synthesizers and grew accustomed to it.
