Re: Vocalizer from Tifloteknia

Thanks John. Makes sense. I don't need a big variety of voices to play with or anything like that. I'm mostly ok with just using Daniel all of the time, in fact. Sounds like going to the SAPI version would be quite sensible. I found two different vocalizer add-ons from the NVDA synths page (I think ... this was a while back actually) and as far as I know neither of them mention SAPI. Should I be looking in a different place?

I have Rui's addon and have no issues with it, accept I stupidly forgot to unlicense it when I had to reset Windows so I lost a license. I guess if there are new voices and stuff that would be a cool update, but I also get having to update the addon for NVDA and that taking time. I mostly use SAPI Eloquence nowadays but I still use Vocalizer, especially if I'm dealing with other languages. I haven't tried either the SAPI vocalizer or the combined Vocalizer and Eloquence addon, since I already have them both, I don't see much sense in paying for them again. If I did I'd probably just get SAPI Vocalizer to go with SAPI Eloquence, because I'd be able to use it in more situations. I guess I haven't kept track of what's happening with Vocalizer voices so I could get all angry that I don' have an update yet, so it works fine for me.

HI.

I'm also curious. I started using nVDA with the Microsoft Core voices, but I would rather like to switch to Vocalizer. With all the back-and-forth going on here -- what add-on should I actaully acquire/pay for?

I'm curious, we have two other ones now, or versions of the same thing, the SAPI5 version and the combined NVDA addon. Do either of those have these new voices or whatever everybody wants?

Hello all,

As a user of Vocalizer voices since more than 2 years, I don't have
to

complaint about this synthesiser.

I lost my license rights and after some e-mail exchanges with

Tiflotecnia, we found a way to solve the problem.

I had no bad experience with them.

So let's wait till the new version comes, and let's see what happens.

Best regards

Sylvie

Subject: Re: [NVDA] Vocalizer from Tifloteknia At least other
companies add features like voices that users have been requesting.
And at least they don’t keep telling users that an update is coming
for years and not delivering on that update. Again, I would like to
say that I’m wrong. I would like to say that the product we are
discussing will get updated in the features that users have been
promised for a
long

time will be added. So far though, that is just not reality. And
until it

happens, I will keep coming out on this list and anywhere else that
this product was discussed and I will keep telling users to avoid
it.
There’s
really a very simple solution to this. Communicate with this list
and let

users of your product no why the promised update has not come yet.
Continue
to update them. Stop delivering promises that it is coming soon when
it’s

not. Stop giving timelines. However, timelines continue to be delivered.
And we still don’t have an update. Not only do we not have the
update, but we don’t have any reason why the update still taking as
long as it is.
Other than an email Wayback that said that they are running into a
couple

of issues that should be resolved very soon. Clearly there are still
reasons why this product is not being delivered. And it’s
ridiculous. You

took a vantage of your users. You’ve taken years to update your product.
User spent a lot of money on your product, the least you could do
this update them on the progress of what is going on. Instead of
promising them an update that has still not been delivered. I regret
very much purchasing the product. I am a very to satisfied user. The
level of support has
been

unprofessional. And the lack of software updates as bad. So I can’t
recommend it. Sorry if anyone disagrees. Again, this message is
being written outside of my role as an owner and a moderator of this

These
are some inconvenients of buying Vocalizer with other companies.
Better
said, other company, I don't know mor than one.

do not believe that this is the case. We have been hearing about
this coming for a long, long, long time now... years actually. I
would
advise

anyone wishing to purchase Vocalizer to purchase the one not by
Ruie or his company. There is another out there that I think atguys
sells that I would recommend. Shame on any company who keeps on
misleading its
customers in

the way as has been done about this product and on this list. If it
comes out I will apologize for my harsh message, but no evidence so
far indicates that this product is actually coming.
