Downloads of Eloquence are easy to find (it’s even included with the JAWS screen reader), but I struggle to find any “official” pages about the original Eloquence. Nuance acquired Eloquent Technologies, the developer of Eloquence. Microsoft later acquired Nuance.

I like the Eloquence speech synthesizer. It sounds similar to the robotic yet predictable voice of my beloved eSpeak NG, but with improved overall quality. Unfortunately, Eloquence is proprietary.

I recently had a chat with Matt on IRC about screen readers and different types of speech synthesizers. I mentioned that while I do like some variety, I always find myself returning to the underrated robotic voice of [eSpeak NG](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/). He shared some of my fondness, and also shared his preference for a similar speech synthesizer called Eloquence.
