This definitely sounds like an issue with the Code Factory voices - I would definitely let them know - at the very least, they might say "Oh yes, that's deliberate", but most likely, they will be able to look into it for you.

Hi everyone

 

I use the standard SAPI 5 version of Eloquence, as opposed to the NVDA plug-in so I can also use it with Narrator etc.

 

I can confirm that this has been an on-going issue when running Narrator using the SAPI 5 version of Eloquence, even when you have it set to change pitch, rather than announce cap.

 

The cap announcement when using the SAPI 5 version of Eloquence with NVDA 2000.4 is working as expected.

 

The cap announcement when running the SAPI 5 version of Eloquence with NVDA 2021.1 is saying “c a p” before the letter.

 

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers

ben

This is such unexpected behavior that it must be.  If you are debating reporting it, I think it is a good idea.

I agree, however don’t want to claim a bug unless we are sure about that.

I mean a setting in the Code Factory plugin – maybe a new setting in the new build?

If you mean a setting in NVDA, I think the only thing you can do is use pitch, as you are doing.

Hi Quentin,

 

Ok, I disabled all other add-ons and only had code factory add-on enabled and the problem is still there.

I enabled all other add-ons and disabled the code factory add-on and my system switched to the One Core Voices and worked perfectly.

 

I am convinced either there is a bug in the new Code Factory add-on for eloquence or a setting needs to be reset to resolve.

 

I will keep working on this to see what changes might help.

 

In the mean time I unchecked say caps and am using pitch instead until this is resolved.

 

Thanks,
Sam

Have you tried restarting the PC.  If that doesn't work, try restarting NVDA with add-ons disabled and see if that makes a difference.  Next, try changing the synthesizer.  Also, which synthesizer are you using now?

 

Kind regards

 

Quentin.

Instead of saying cap when the cursor reaches a capital letter it spells out "c a p" then pronounces the letter.
