Thanks for those samples. I've never really been a fan of Decktalk, but I have heard quite a bit of it over the years, and you are right. This version does sound quite different than what's shipped with Window Eyes.
Thanks, Ari
People who are interested may want to hear a
recording I made when I was evaluating this version of Dectalk. it speaks
differently enough and has a bit of a different inflection pattern as well and
those interested should hear the program when deciding. You may be able to
use it as a demo but this recording may allow you to decide what you think of
this version. The original DECTalk couldn't be replicated, I think because
the code was lost at some time and this is a reconstruction. The person
selling the program isn't responsible for this. She is making available
what has been supplied.
The person selling this version is very
friendly and it was a pleasure corresponding with her.
The link to download the samples is
The sample consists of the reading of a small part
of Genesis at two different speeds. Trying the synthesizer as you would
use it may be preferable but this may give you a reasonable idea of whether
you want to pursue the matter.

Regarding Eloquence for NVDA from Code Factory
Well if people don't want the legal version of
eloquence. emailing enablerehab@... and asking for
their dectalk synth may be the better option. They don't exactly sell it
anymore because there is no interest however they will sell it to you for
basically what its worth. Their licence with fonix means you need to pay but
there is no fixed price so pay what you want. I put in 20 bucks for the
thing but you could pay anything from 1-2 dollars up. For those not
liking eloquence this may be the better solution. My only complaint is that
some of the voices are a bit quiet volume wise. However for about
a couple mb you get every dectalk voice and language, sadly no singing but
even so.

Re: This is the moderator speaking: Question Regarding Eloquence for NVDA from Code Factory
Some people like the speech player ad don, it gives more flexibility in the way one can configure voices. It's been a while since I searched around for software synthesizers. I have an old i s a DEC talk board along with an accent p c and doubletalk p c. I picked up an old DEC express a while ago.

The SAPI Version worked on right for me, except for saying the days of the week rather oddly. It would separate the first part of the day and the part that says day into two syllables, with a pause that sounded like a comma between them. It also said dates as numbers, for example, 1-11-12 would be said as one, eleven, twelve. And they would all be said as if there was a comma after each number. Those two things rather frustrated me. It also had a little bit of a tendency to sound like a comma-sounding pause when there was no comma, sort of like Eloquence does when it's running in embedded systems, like talking ATMs. This didn't happen often enough for me to really notice it, though. Either that or I just got used to it. It seems that it didn't happen often enough to be really annoying, I guess is what I'm saying.
I never did try the Code Factory adon, and I especially didn't want to, after hearing about all the problems people have been having with it.
Thanks, Ari That makes sense. It would be completely
illogical to have a demo version of a program perform badly and then to have it
perform better once paid for. It would also be illogical not to inform
users of this in any way. If the SAPI5 version works well, that is the one
I would get. I've seen conflicting reports on how it works in Windows 8
and Windows 10. I've seen it claimed that SAPI5 doesn't work well in
general in Windows 8 and 10 and that the Eloquence SAPI version lags and is not
properly responsive because of this. I have seen other messages stating
that it works well from some people who have tried it. All I can say is,
try the demo if interested and I would be curious to see reports. I think
others would as well. It works very well on my XP machine and I expect it
will work well on my Windows 7 machine but I haven't tried it on that
machine. It's Windows 8 and 10 that I've seen contradictory statements
about.

Hello all, I did purchase this add on today. Even once it is
activated the crackling and popping is still evident when using eloquence. I
did notice that they have a few different voices for the vocalizer synth.
I downloaded Oliver, a UK voice, and it is not bad. I also downloaded a new
female US english voice called Susan and she is not bad
either. Regards, Greg Wocher

Pete wrote, "It's kind of like the whole e-mail thing with people wanting to use outlook express except people keep telling them to use Thunderbird or Microsoft outlook or window live mail or some thing like that." This isn't a "freedom of choice" issue, it's a simple fact of life that certain programs, Outlook Express being one example, effectively cease to exist when official support ends. No one is guaranteed, nor should they expect, that anything that they're using will be available in perpetuity. I discourage people from using Outlook Express because the only existing versions available are hacks based on who knows what code base and with what vulnerabilities. Since e-mail clients constantly interact with the internet this is a real concern. While such a concern is not present regarding voice synthesis, things will come, and go, in that arena as well. There is very likely going to come a point where you, for any you, have to let go of something you're used to because it is not being supported or carried forward. Getting used to this, even though it's painful, is essential in the cyber world unless you want to drive yourself crazy. I've seen a lot of people over the years who have expended far more energy trying to hold on to something than would have been expended to learn the new that's available to them. Brian

However, I'm also known for being a volcano, especially if the integrity of the list or the reputation of a product or a community is questioned. I'll not activate moderation flag for anyone out of respect for everyone and for newbies to get accustomed to this environment. For our old friends: Yes, I am indeed serious, more serious now that we're about to help NV Access celebrate NVDA's tenth birthday. Not only I'm speaking on behalf of moderators, but as one of the planners of NVDACon 2016 (I am indeed the chair of the planning committee), I'd like to kindly request that we care about reputation of NVDA, NV Access and this community. These days, what gives me more stress isn't the question of who will succeed me or success of NVDACon, but the reputation and future of this community for months and years to come. What gives me more joy is to see you all become folks who can think about what's going on and make informed decisions (yes, that's the reason why I've proposed certain proposals in the past). In conclusion, I do know I will not be able to sleep tonight, but believe I need to say this: NVDA community, specifically this forum, is facing a crisis: misinformation abounds and passion trumps reason at times. We're suffering from a disease called "misinformation" - what is illegal being seen as legal, people not being informed as to what's available to them when they need it, name calling at times and so forth (as I mentioned in my blog, I will not accept name calling). Being passionate about something is good, but it is better to think about what's going on before defending one's arguments. In other words, contrary to what we've said about this forum to the outside world, we're at times known for doing the opposite. Lastly, in regards to free material: there is no such thing as free lunch. I do need to say this in public: NVDA isn't technically free. For the benefit of many, NVDA is made available as a free, open-source and community-driven screen reader. But there are costs associated with this project. Please stop now and imagine for a second: imagine a group of developers who have decided to promote equal access to technology at no additional costs, using their talents to give opportunities for someone who lives in poverty somewhere. NVDA is more than a screen reader now: it's a movement, and workers deserve their wages - support, encouragement, opportunities and so on. Thank you. Cheers, Joseph

Why do people talk about it? They can, and I don't consider it against the rules of the list since the add-on, the alternative if you like to call it is available and accessible from within the add-on list of NVDA.

Re: Question Regarding Eloquence for NVDA from Code Factory
Hi I would look at software that comes with sound cards then buy a sound card that comes with a synthesizer. DEC talk sounding speech from textassist is quite good and if you have a SB16 sound card in your computer you can download the software for it. One problem, like I said earlier text assist is sapi 3. Jaws was able to use it in the past, I don't think window eyes was able to. Pete

As per list instructions, I will not promote, defend usage of or initiate discussion of the said 'illegal' version of Eloquence that is rather popular among users of all kinds. Without getting too political, my biggest beef with the situation is the the copyright/patent holders (after transfer numberous times--I forget who it is now) they ban unauthorized usage, but won't sell it via single or group license to anyone who doesn't already have it like Freedom Scientific and G.W. Micro/whatever the company name is for the new conglomerate.
The Code factory SAPI 5 is passable and I have indeed purchased a copy. I downloaded a demo of the legal version synthesizer from Code Factory and it has numerous issues--many of which have already been discussed on this list. When I e-mailed Code Factory a number of times about future updates and whether or not I could test them with a new demo for 7 days, I received no responses. (Maybe there's a language barrier--since the page is obviously written by non English speakers--but It's difficult to definitively determine.)
Just my 2 centavos.

Hello Greg, I see this point in a different prospective. When you buy a product, what do you consider to be worth the price? Do you know when was the last time Eloquence was updated? It's been many years so far. If eloquence was sold to code factory for a greater purpose in terms of development and TTS progression, I would be more than happy to pay. Despite being the best TTS and the most comprehensive voice amongst all, eloquence actually faces many issues. The most important one is the group of crashing word which crashes the eloquence so badly. Secondly, this add-on from code factory is very unintegrated because there are few and probably no words in the dictionary wordlist. For example, "Mr." is pronounced just M R or etc is pronounced "etk". The list goes on and on and I promise that you will be required to add a lot of abriviations which are used today. When I see all these issues, I don't feel like buying it because the money I'm spending is nearly being wasted. I would rather prefer to buy another TTS like Ivona or acapela because I have eloquence and it is working pretty good. No bad reputation is created upon users of a free and open source program because anyone who's good at programming can freely modify the application in the way he wants. It's too easy, isn't it?

Re: Question Regarding Eloquence for NVDA from Code Factory
Hi The old sound blaster came with a synthesizer called textassist. To me textassist sounds like the DEC talk access 32 software but I think it uses sapi version 3. My question is how difficult would it be to implement sapi 3 in nvda? This might open up a whole other world of software synths for people to try and the DEC talk access 32 is good as is the SB16 textassist. Another software synthesizer is i b m v i a voice. It comes in i b m's home page reader along with a screen reader called desktop reader or some thing like that. v i a voice sounds like eloquence to me may be a bit more refined. P W web speak came with a software synthesizer called s o voice or sovoice. It wasn't bad either. I still like espeak for the reason it reads fast and 7 or 8 hundred w p m it is more clear than DEC talk or eloquence to me any ways. Pete

Re: Code Factory Eloquence and Vocalizer add on
Hallo Wilfried,
bislang habe ich immer über den eigentlichen Bildschirm übersetzen lassen. In das erste Fenster kopiere ich den originalen Text und gelange mit Tab ins zweite Fenster, wo die Übersetzung steht. Übrigens habe ich dabei festgestellt, dass offensichtlich doch wieder Google zum Übersetzen zur Verfügung steht. Dann gehe ich weiter mit Tab zum ersten Play-Schalter und kann mir die Übersetzung anhören. Man kann natürlich auch mit dem Screenreader im zweiten Fenster die Übersetzung lesen, aber die Sprache von Google ist wirklich nett. Es gibt im Hotkey-Menü noch ganz unten einen unbelegten Menüpunkt, aber da habe ich noch nicht gesehen, wie man dem einen Hotkey zuweist. Über den wäre es wohl möglich, den übersetzten Inhalt der Zwischenablage vorlesen zu lassen.
Freundliche Grüße
Arno

two pluses are react o s can run from live cd or can be installed to hard drive. It is open source so free to use like nvda. The nvda screen reader paired up with a bootable windows like os on a disk or u s b would come in handy. Then again react o s would have to be able to run windows setup. A bootable windows system on a flash or cd rom with speech is available from the enterprise edition of windows 8.1 and up I think. It is called windows to go and installs to a u s b drive.

Well it would be good if react os would become accessible. One thing that is a driving force for me is it will run windows programs and therefore games and screen readers probably though thats not the only thing. With the rise of ms own account system, and later oses such as windows 8x and 10 a lot of things we have taken for granted are on the move or going out. The desktop app is on the way out, and while I know those of us that have embraced cross platform and touch tablets are round and getting more commenplace there are still those I'd imagine like me that have never changed. I for example would still be quite happy with an xp like interface, or a win7 like interface for windows and office and everything else without the crazy ribbon system wishfull as it currently is. And in some way being I came round the time dos was still king I sometimes want to return to the simple times where your os was just a basic crappy box where you shoved apps on. As it is, I have used the desktop so much the cloud and all the online apps are something I have never been born into and I see no reason bar the obvious why I would want to change now. In fact I see no reason from a user standpoint for what I do to even upgrade from xp though I do like the newer 7 interface. As an os a windows 10 core is nice but even so I see no need for the extra features. At the same time I wouldn't mind staying with a windows like os, as while yes there is linux I have to deal with windows and windows is what I grew up mostly with. Its why I have a simbian cell now and will for some time. And its probably why I have windows 7 and others in my immediate family will for the future do also. Every time I try to get the nerve to upgrade I and my family have found it harder and harder to upgrade an os. windows 3x to 95 was a no brainer. as was 95 to 98 and then from 98 to xp. But that is where it stuck, I saw no need to go vista. And if xp hadn't gone out of support I wouldn't have left that. I am happy I went to 7 though. However yet again another sticking point, I see no need to ever upgrade again. And with my dad retiring at the end of next month, the drive to have the latest legal office program and latest legal os is greatly diminished. Now thats not going to mean I won't upgrade, or that I will pirate the next windows and office but its going to get just that bit harder to move on to use something I wouldn't ever need. Even if its true I would probably be fine with it afterward. Now if I could buy an os core and use whatever interface I want and whatever feature set and take bits and bobs of both it wouldn't matter a dime but I have to take it or leave it and that really starts to put me in a position especially now my funds will be more reduced. Its going to become a have to rather than like to. Or to put it another way, a if it works and I don't loose my data then I won't. But like all things react os may never get there.

The read me is belo. --- ======================== ReactOS™ Version 0.4.x Updated January 5, 2016 ========================
1. What is ReactOS? -------------------
ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft® Windows™ NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Seven).
More information is available at: http://www.reactos.org
2. Relationship with the WINE project -------------------------------------
ReactOS has always intended to work with the WINE project to share as much programming effort as possible. This mainly concerns User Mode DLLs and still happens to a degree today. Other areas of cooperation lie in applications and testing suites.
3. Future compatibility -----------------------
The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows Server 2003 compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases.
4. Supporting other System Applications ---------------------------------------
The Windows NT architecture allows for subsystems, as does the ReactOS architecture. A subsystem is an implementation of the APIs of another operating system, allowing ReactOS to run applications from other systems. We are already looking at subsystems for: Java, OS/2, and DOS and possibly others in the future.
5. Tutorials ------------
Developer and User Tutorials: http://www.reactos.org/wiki
The tutorials contain more information on the project, compiling and testing ReactOS - amongst other topics. Contributors to the project are always welcome.

Re: TWBlue stopped working, please help?
You may have encountered a bug in the installer. For some odd reason, it puts in a couple of characters after the ending quotation mark after the ".exe" in the path line in the desktop shortcut. Just right click or alt enter on the TW Blue shortcut and tab to you get to the target line. Go to the very end of that line and carefully delete out anything after the final quotation mark after the exe but be sure to leave that ending quotation mark and then save it. It should work properly then.
Hope this helps.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Until a few months ago, discussion of Eloquence wasn't allowed on this list. This was relaxed last summer when Code Factory released Eloquence add-on. Back then, Nimer and I (Nimer being the actual list owner) said discussion of illegal version isn't still permitted. At this point, it would be advisable to suspend Eloquence discussions for a while. We cannot risk giving NVDA a slightly muddy reputation at this important occasion: NVDA's tenth anniversary and NVDACon. Please don't forget this: the reputation of a product, particularly a product that many of you depends on, depends on what users say about the product and the discussions surrounding it. For those new to this list: I'm known for being generous. However, I'm also known for being a volcano, especially if the integrity of the list or the reputation of a product or a community is questioned. I'll not activate moderation flag for anyone out of respect for everyone and for newbies to get accustomed to this environment. For our old friends: Yes, I am indeed serious, more serious now that we're about to help NV Access celebrate NVDA's tenth birthday. Not only I'm speaking on behalf of moderators, but as one of the planners of NVDACon 2016 (I am indeed the chair of the planning committee), I'd like to kindly request that we care about reputation of NVDA, NV Access and this community. These days, what gives me more stress isn't the question of who will succeed me or success of NVDACon, but the reputation and future of this community for months and years to come. What gives me more joy is to see you all become folks who can think about what's going on and make informed decisions (yes, that's the reason why I've proposed certain proposals in the past). In conclusion, I do know I will not be able to sleep tonight, but believe I need to say this: NVDA community, specifically this forum, is facing a crisis: misinformation abounds and passion trumps reason at times. We're suffering from a disease called "misinformation" - what is illegal being seen as legal, people not being informed as to what's available to them when they need it, name calling at times and so forth (as I mentioned in my blog, I will not accept name calling). Being passionate about something is good, but it is better to think about what's going on before defending one's arguments. In other words, contrary to what we've said about this forum to the outside world, we're at times known for doing the opposite. Lastly, in regards to free material: there is no such thing as free lunch. I do need to say this in public: NVDA isn't technically free. For the benefit of many, NVDA is made available as a free, open-source and community-driven screen reader. But there are costs associated with this project. Please stop now and imagine for a second: imagine a group of developers who have decided to promote equal access to technology at no additional costs, using their talents to give opportunities for someone who lives in poverty somewhere. NVDA is more than a screen reader now: it's a movement, and workers deserve their wages - support, encouragement, opportunities and so on. Thank you. Cheers, Joseph

I have been using the old add-on of eloquonce someone made, and I am not going to pay for a program that does essentially the same thing. The add-on I am talking about works so fast and reliably. cheers.

Hi,
Recently, there was a discussion about alternative voices for NVDA, such as Code Factory's add-on with Eloquence and Vocalizer. I mentioned that when I tried this particular product, I noticed that Eloquence sounded quite choppy compared to other screen readers and other synths I have for NVDA on my machine running Windows 7. I also never experienced this with Code Factory's SAPI 5 implementation. Anyway, I got thinking about it this evening, and decided to do some searching to see if anyone else was experiencing similar issues. I found a thread about the add-on in the old NVDA list's archive, and saw a message stating that the choppiness would go away once the product was paid for. I was just wondering if this is indeed the case? If yes, it's not what I'd consider the best way to limit a trial version, but I might buy it after all.
Thanks.

Re: Code Factory Eloquence and Vocalizer add on
Hello,
There is a seven day trial of the add on so you can try before
buying.

There is a demo. I don't
recall if there is actually a demo or if the program
functions when installed as a demo with the user simply
installing the exact same program. I suspect that that is
the case. Check the web page where the program is offered
and see. Of course, someone could make a recording and that
would be useful. It might be more useful to try it as a
demo and see what you think of it in use as you would use
it. And the SAPI Code Factory Version would be worth trying
as well.

You say crackling sound.
Do you have a way you could some how record it, and let me
hear? I'd like
to hear it before making a purchase.

Hi Group,
The SAPI 5 version of Eloquence works as well as any other SAPI voice on my Windows 8.1 system.

That makes sense. It would be completely illogical to have a demo version of a program perform badly and then to have it perform better once paid for. It would also be illogical not to inform users of this in any way. If the SAPI5 version works well, that is the one I would get. I've seen conflicting reports on how it works in Windows 8 and Windows 10. I've seen it claimed that SAPI5 doesn't work well in general in Windows 8 and 10 and that the Eloquence SAPI version lags and is not properly responsive because of this. I have seen other messages stating that it works well from some people who have tried it. All I can say is, try the demo if interested and I would be curious to see reports. I think others would as well. It works very well on my XP machine and I expect it will work well on my Windows 7 machine but I haven't tried it on that machine. It's Windows 8 and 10 that I've seen contradictory statements about.

Hello all, I did purchase this add on today. Even once it is activated the crackling and popping is still evident when using eloquence. I did notice that they have a few different voices for the vocalizer synth. I downloaded Oliver, a UK voice, and it is not bad. I also downloaded a new female US english voice called Susan and she is not bad either.

Well basically i just want to know where this is saved. In a file or registry. We have a bunch of computers. At the moment i am doing this by hand. To get it unchecked so nvda doesn't speak at the login screen so people don't get confused. But ist ok if i have to do it by hand as well.

Are you looking for the location itself or how to make it save it.

There is a button in the general settings and this will warn you if it thinks there is a possible issue, such as uncertified add ons etc. Brian
