Hi
yes it is a e speak voice but we made a few changes like taking out echo etc when playing around on how to create a e speak voice.
At the same time Gene 2 was created a bit higher still ok but like Gene more

No, you don't need a link to the Gene voice. If you're using espeak, all you have to do is hit insert control V to go to the voice settings. Tab until you get to the varients and choose the Gene voice from there. You don't need a link to it.

is it his first time using a screen reader? as most people who are screen reader users do not use a mouse and navigate the computer differently. Using the tab and shift tab keys, arrow keys the alt keys etc The best place to start if he is a new screen reader user as not used one before is up on the web site given is a page called nvda tutorials learning the basics and will help in what to do. I forgot to say also when you use the nvda key + letter N under the help section then user guide is where they would find shortcuts for both desk top and lap top users. There is alot of info on the web site both in written and audio that will help in learning nvda. Gene nz

E Speak did improve in win 7. But win ten made E speak sound even better! Not worth complaining about. I just configured E speak to my liking. I don’t need no other voices. I like what’s there!

You guys are complaining about spending $70 on a voice? I remember when you had to spend $200 or more likely $500 for a good voice like decTalk or keyNote gold. So why are you complaining? If you have windows10, the oneCore voices work excellent and support many languages. ESpeak also sounds good if you set its voice correctly or the way you like it. And that $70 from www.atguys.com gives you both eloquence with all its voices and vocalizer with all of its voices. So $70 is a really really good deal as far as buying voices is concerned.

We don't know which voice it was. Have you been using Eloquence? If you want to use it, you can use a demo that runs for seven days. You can then purchase it or not, as you wish. There are a lot of free voices. It appears you are not using Windows 10. Windows 10 uses its own voices with NVDA by default that many people like. If you are using E-Speak, the default voice not in Windows 10, you may well want to try other voices. There are lots of free voices but, in the area of synthesized speech, if you pay nothing, you get poor quality. it takes a very specialized team of experts to create good voices.
You may find and try whatever free voices you wish or demo voices here:
Download the voice, it usually is an add-on. Use the command NVDA key n, by default, either insert is the NVDA key. A menu will open. Down arrow to tools and press enter. Down arrow to Manage Add-ons and press enter. A dialog opens. Tab to the install button and press the space bar. An open dialog will open. Find the add-on, as you find a file you wich to open in a standard open dialog. If you need more information, ask. When you find the add-on, press enter and you will be asked if you wish to install it. answer yes. After it installs, you will be asked if you want to restart NVDA. Use the appropriate button, I don't recall what it says. NVDA will restart. Switch to the synthesizer by issuing the command control insert s. Find what you want in the list and press enter. If you don't find it, ask here.
Press escape if you want to close the dialog without doing anything. I'll tell you how to adjust the speed of the voice and make other changes in a later message, after you get the voice installed.
Also, before you do any of this, I would recommend changing the following setting to keep you from accidentally saving settings you don't want to save when you are just trying them out. Set NVDA not to automatically save settings on exit. That way, you can return to the old settings unless you want to save the new ones. To do this, with NVDA running, use the command control insert g. You may use either insert. Tab, perhaps just once, to a check box that says save settings on exit. It is checked. Uncheck it with the space bar, then press enter The dialog will close.
Now, if you change settings and you want to save them, use the command control insert c. If you don't use this command, when you close NVDA and start it again, all the old settings will be used. Use the command after you press enter. In other words, uncheck the check box with the space bar, press enter, issue the command control insert c. You will hear "Configuration saved," spoken. You have just saved the setting you made.
