Purchasing Eloquence
|
Dan Kerstetter
Hello all.
Where is the best place from which to purchase the Eloquence speech synthesizer? I’ve been to the code factory site; downloaded eloquence from their app store, but don’t know how to register/purchase it.
Any help, info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
For an hour of good alternative and classic rock tune in to my show: A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That Monday at 5:00 eastern and Tuesday and Friday 8:00 eastern on out of sight radio.

Hi, I just downloaded from Atguys.com. I installed the add-on and each time I clicked On “try” I got the message that my internet is not connected. Then it locked my system that I had to start my computer. So I am unable to try the voices before I decide if it is worth purchasing. Anyone experience the problem? Blessings Pascal

Is there a difference between the NVDA and the SAPI voices? Thanks Blessings Pascal

What I am noticing is that with the Sappi voice you lose the ability to change speed, volume, pitch and rate. You have to open Eloquence to make those changes.

Uh, no you don't. I can make those changes from the synth settings ring

or the menus just fine. You've been able to do that since I bought it, and I think I'm up to version 1.6.6 or something. Unless they made a new version and broke something in the last month or so, you should be able to change settings without opening Eloquence. I only open mine if I need to deactivate before a major Windows update, and reactivate afterwards.

I just purchased mine and no matter what I do if I press NVDA+ctrl+the arrow keys the changes do not take affect. If I press NVDA+ctrl+v and make changes they are not taking affect. Only when I open Sappi5 eloquence. On Code factory’s page I don’t recall seeing a choice between Sappi5 and NVDA. Only eloquence for windows.

Hi, I just downloaded the Code Factory Eloquent NVDA add-on NVDA and installed it. I selected Tom voice and installed it. However, I am unable to install any other voice to try and compare. Any feedback is appreciated. Blessings Pascal

If you want to use the MSAPI voices with more than
one program, you may do so. The NVDA add-on only works with NVDA. I
have the impression that the price is about the same.
Also, the NVDA add-on allows you to use another
series of voices, that, while you may like them, I consider very annoying, as I
do most of the newer synthesized speech. But if you want more voices for
your money, usable only with NVDA, you will get that.

Do you mean you have to open NVDA settings or
Eloquence settings? There are both options. I don't set such
settings using the NVDA settings ring but I never had problems doing so opening
NVDA settings and changing them there.

Check the settings in the actual Eloquence program
itself. I've used the demo but I didn't work with the settings enough to
remember how you get to this one. But in the settings for the voices
themselves, there is a force setting. Make sure it is off. Force
causes the voices to disregard screen-reader settings and use settings for the
voices themselves. It is off by default but yours may be on for some
reason.

With the Sappi5 version I purchased from Code Factory, “eloquence for Windows”, When I do the standard ways of changing rate or volume nothing happens. I wind up having to open eloquence to make the changes.

I never had to do any such things unless the force

It shouldn't. If you tab through when you open the Eloquence program,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
there are three checkboxes, "force pitch settings", "force speech rate", and "force volume". If all of them are unchecked, NVDA should be able to change all of those settings and the changes should stay in place.

It shouldn't. If you tab through when you open the Eloquence program, there are three checkboxes, "force pitch settings", "force speech rate", and "force volume". If all of them are unchecked, NVDA should be able to change all of those settings and the changes should stay in place.

The one thing NVDA can't change, as far as I know, is the "voice
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
profile" in the advanced section of the Eloquence program. It's where you pick voices like Reed, Gramma, and so on. I've never seen a reason to change from the default myself, but it's there if anybody wants it, and so far as I know,, you can only do that from the Eloquence program itself.
