It is my understanding that FS is dropping Eloquence as their primary screen
reader.  Nuance, the creator of Eloquence has decided to orphan the software
in favor of their SAPI voices.  They will do no more updates or bug fixes.
I don't know if this effects JAWS 10, or if it will be later.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Another Eloquence crasher.

Fear not, I won't enter the crashing sequence here, but I have stumbled
across another sequence of characters that appears to crash the eloquence
synth.  It is very strange.

It seems that a two digit number followed by a colon, followed by another
two digit number, immediately followed by the letters th, will crash the
synth depending on the numbers used.

For example: 11:33th does not crash the synth but replace the second three
with a 5 or 8 and it will.  It has to be a double set of numbers though, as
35th or 38th itself does not crash the synth.

I've sent a note to FS reporting this.
