Although not a huge Apple fan, I must give them credit for coming up with their Alex TTS voice. It sounds natural slow, and I love it going really fast. I'm not sure how they manage it to be

- And therein lies the problem as far as conflicts of interest in synthesized speech. I've been around blind individuals, and you're clearly one of them, who can listen and comprehend at speech rates

I’d first try unloading and running NVDA again and then rebooting. I’d then move on to your recommendation. I’ve seen NVDA cause strange behaviors and JAWS too, which are generally corrected

That may explain why you don’t like Eloquence. You listen close to the standard speech rate. Also, Eloquence sounds better at faster rates. the voice sounds more annoying at slower rates. Gene

About a week ago, Via Voice was discussed here as being available from an IBM web site. I don’t recall the details. There may be an NVDA add-on. I’m not sure if the IBM web site version is

Hi, how do you enter emojis? I tried to do it today in an email using NVDA and it won't let me arrow through the options to choose one. Jumping around from focus and browse mode... Before when I

I don’t know if any of the newer kind of synthesizers don’t have these faults. I can’t comment on the default voices in Windows 10. I’ve heard some of the newer kinds of synthesizers and

nope, in fact, some say the alternative version that costs nothing is better. If you aren't using Eloquence with NVDA, can I ask which voice you prefer? I"m always looking for

- When it comes to voices, I have come to the conclusion that, Chacun à son goût [Everyone has their own taste], rules the day. The amount of passion that surrounds what is, or is not, a good voice
