Haha! Cool! I'm currently on Windows and I am using Eloquence and it is pronounced as "Oyvind" which is not that far away from how one pronounces it in my native language which is Norwegian. It is quite difficult to explain how this is pronounced using text :) Especially to a person that don't speak Norwegian and probably have never heard a single word in Norwegian. -----Original Message----- From: Speakup [mailto:speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Trevor Astrope Sent: 2. oktober 2013 14:12 To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.
