Nice to see you here! Don't you like Microsoft OneCore voices? I think the English ones are ok, both US and UK. Ciao, Ollie On 13/07/2020 09:03, g melconian wrote:

Re: Automatic Column and Row Header Reading
Quentin Christensen
You need to tell NVDA where the headers are for it to read them. Press NVDA+shift+c to set column headers and NVDA+shift+r to set row headers. Note that you need to be in the first cell you want headers read. Quentin

Automatic Column and Row Header Reading
Sam Taylor
Hi all, 11.2.1 of the NVDA user guide mentions that NVDA is able to
automatically announce appropriate row and column headers when
navigating around Excel worksheets. I used to be able to achieve this but it doesn't appear to work for me any more, and indeed as of NVDA 2019.3. The cell coordinates just appear to read as usual, rather than reading any additional cell references. I have enabled the Report Table row / column headers option in NVDA's Document Formatting settings. y duCan anybodyplicate or suggest anything? This is highly likely to be user error. Cheers Sam

There is rh voice found here. https://github.com/Olga-Yakovleva/RHVoice That may or may not suit you. If you add ms voices from narator you may get some good ones. Finally enablerehab@... is the address you can email for dectalk, they only ask you to pay what you want for it. Some of the languages are quite quiet but that may work for you. Its sapi5. there is flite but thats really bad, there is speech hub and you could try those. There is this. https://www.nvaccess.org/post/high-quality-voices-available-for-nvda/ There is a wiki article on the speech synths for the reader but I can't seem to find it.

Re: looking for a free synthesiser

Hi there: Is it a language barrier with your synth? Is that why you are finding it difficult to upgrade to windows ten? I had to upgrade to ten. My 7 box died. The sound card burned out and some of my usb ports quit working. The computer was funtionable. I had no audio and it was badly slowing down. A sighted worker took it from me. He asked if he can have it after he put my stuff on this system off the hard drive. I said sure. I gave him the windows 7 disks. He scrubbed it and he used it for his video games. He put in an external sound card and disabled the one I had there. Not much longer after that the hard drive went and he just recycled it.

Which version of windows? does it have to be in a certain language or is english ok. Speech platform synth/voices might do the trick if before windows 10 I have not tried them on Windows 10. There is also the speech hub program that will work on computers from 7 to 10 but only in english. Gene nz On 13/07/2020 12:15 pm, Ibrahim Ajayi wrote:

Re: looking for a free synthesiser
Sky Mundell
Hello. First, Codefactory has a SAPI 5 version of Eloquence that you can get for a price. I don’t have the price on the top of my head, but if you google Eloquence for NVDA code factory Eloquence. Another add-on they have is the Eloquence and Vocaliser expressive add-on for NVDA which also Codefactory makes, and it contains Eloquence and Vocaliser in one add-on. But as for free voices, the only free voices that I know of are TruVoice, and the Microsoft Speech from 1999 with Mary, Mike, and Sam. A slight correction. I think you meant windows one core voices. If your' on windows 10, NVDA doesn’t use ESpeak as the default voice. Instead, you get the one core voices by default if your on windows 10.

looking for a free synthesiser
Hi good people:
I am in ee of a free synthesizer for NVDA. Before now, I used the I used the auto language for eloquence. I didn't know that that program was a cracked one, and it no longer works with NVDA. I am not comfortable with the default speech of NVDA which is ESpeak, because I don't understand the speech, and it is even too low. I also know of narrator, or Microsoft API5, but I am also not comfortable with that too. That synthesizer is also too low. So, are there any free other synshesisers that I can try out. At the moment I am managing the 40-minute version of JAWS. Regards. I am Ibrahim. |

Re: nvda not speaking program/icon on the desktop when pressing first letter
Hi,

I suspect NVDA is not being notified about selection changes, sometimes caused by an add-on or a setting interfering with what NVDA is supposed to do. To test, try restarting with all add-ons disabled, and if that solves the issue, we can move onto isolating individual add-ons. Cheers, Joseph -----Original Message-----

Re: nvda not speaking program/icon on the desktop when pressing first letter

Hi
Another that just come to mind is you might of accidentally turned off speech on nvda.
Use the nvda key + letter S to toggle between no speech, beep and talk then save your settings with the ctrl key + nvda key + the letter C
i guess it could easily be done if you wanted to change your synth settings but missed out the ctrl key .
