Narrative:
After reaching agard intersection, the route loaded into the computer had us going direct to eno for the arrival to ewr. Speak intersection was missing and we would have had to enter it manually. Center advised us of the problem with aircraft not continuing to speak before turning toward eno. I advised him that I would address the issue with the company as it is an ongoing problem. I also should have verified the route, but didn't.
