  I don't know whether the flash cartridges that we'll start getting next 
year will
carry the voices of the same excellent actors we've been hearing in the past 
or will
sound like Eloquence, as produced by JAWS et al.

  For stories involving various characters it's good to hear their words 
read with different voices--something of which
Eloquence is incapable.

  However, for other sorts of text, it's often nice to speed up the reading, 
sometimes making the actors less
intelligible than Eloquence is at the same speed.

  It would be good to be able to choose between the two sorts of voices.
