@Aryan@dragonscave.space @JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me But Eloq 64 now has the very same pauses as IBMTTS. IBMTTS has 3, and Eloq 64 has the very same 3 pause-related settings.

@amir@dragonscave.space @Aryan@dragonscave.space I think the pauses sound better on eloquence though. if you leave the shorten pauses to never the pauses are a bit longer than the IBM one.

@amir@dragonscave.space @Aryan@dragonscave.space @JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me I wrote that setting that got merged into IBM, and am glad another driver picked it up. It's all about user preference. If they've implemented them the same, which mostly just chooses when to stick pause shortening commands in the stream, there shouldn't realistically be a difference unless the underlying library handles them differently. IBM's libraries handle them differently than SpeechWorks.
