1. alt V

I think there are 7 voices and 68 variants, Gene. I'm running
windows 10. That shouldn't make any difference but one never
knows.

Re: a new modified nv-speech player
Gene
I'm not sure what happened last time. I may
have installed the wrong add-on. But I double checked and installed the
right one this time and I now have a lot of voices and variants. My
comments earlier should be disregarded because they refer to what appears to be
an early version of the add-on which appears to be very old. I may have
downloaded it and forgotten about it a long time ago and installed it by
mistake.
The new add-on doesn't sound anything like
Eloquence and the accents and inflections aren't similar. The american
accent isn't at all American. I'm referring to the English U.S.
variant. I'm not sure if its anything but it may be more a Scandinavian
accent than anything else. I tried the just plain English titled variant
and, though the accent is different, it is somewhat similar and the
inflection isn't correct in either.
I don't use E-speak and those
who do may know how to set the old one so it sounds better than mine or they may
be using a newer version that may sound better. But comparing the add-on
to what I am familiar with interms of the old earlier version and choices such
as variants, the add-on appears to sound better than the old E-Speak in terms of
voice quality, but I still don't consider it pleasant. How much might it
be improved? I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.
It may be a better choice for
those who want to use E-Speak or consider it the best option they have. I
haven't heard a lot of the free synthesizers but it may now be in the range that
many of them are. But it doesn't compare with Eloquence or the old
DecTalk.
For people who want a free synthesizer,
it's worth trying and evaluating.

Re: NVDA and ribbon menues
Antony Stone
Regarding people more likely to express an opinion when they dislike
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
something, yes, I agree completely. I guess it's reasonable to assume that's what Gene meant to say. However, regarding praise versus criticism, your point that "most people say little to nothing at all if everything is 'just fine as it is but isn't exceptional in any way'" is all well and good, but I think it's just as true to say that "most people say little to nothing at all if everything is 'not very good but isn't particularly bad in any way'". In other words, if things are more or less acceptable; only just a bit better or worse than people expect, would like, or are used to, then they won't say much, if anything. But I do think that people praise improvements just as much as they complain about things getting worse. Internet support forums are not the place to look for that praise, however - and the clue is in the name - people don't look for support when they like what they have; they look for support when they have a problem. Praise is for more likely to go directly back to the suppliers / developers, so aside from the "satisfied customer" quotes you see on a lot of websites, such comments simply don't get publicised on the Internet to the same extent that the complaints on public forums do. None of this means it's okay to ignore the people who are saying "this is a change for the worse", though. Developers can do what they want, but if it's not what the users want, who wins and who loses as a result? Antony.

I believe I am the one that started this thread. All I asked for was a little help in learning how to use ribbons effectively. I don't believe I said that they were bad or good just a new trick to teach a old dog like me. I actually like the challenge of learning something new but in my old age get flustrated a little faster when something seems to be more difficult than it should.

Having haunted support forums of various types for decades now, you'd be convinced that nothing ever works as expected and designed if one were to take the tenor of most posts there as one's only sample set. Things skew negative in those venues since people are having issues and that's why they turn to them. -- Brian - Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 The terrible state of public education has paid huge dividends in ignorance. Huge. We now have a country that can be told blatant lies — easily checkable, blatant lies — and I’m not talking about the covert workings of the CIA. When we have a terrorist attack, on September 11, 2001 with 19 men — 15 of them are Saudis — and five minutes later the whole country thinks they’re from Iraq — how can you have faith in the public? This is an easily checkable fact. The whole country is like the O.J. Simpson jurors. ~ Fran Lebowitz in Ruminator Magazine interview with Susannah McNeely (Aug/Sept 2005)
