Mairead I rang a german friend to see what she uses. She actually prefers eloquence to the realspeak voices, but her suggestion is slow the voice down, get used to a slower speed and then steadily turn it back up again. Hope this helps.

When I am required to read german I change the option in jaws to read german but I find it really difficult to understand. I have tried downloading samples ofprerecorded german voices but I find them hard to understand and unclear. I would appreciate it if anybody has any suggestions on suitable voices that I could purchase or changes I could make for reading german.
