NVDA? I prefer the voice bryan and hope it will work. Please answer me directly

Hello! In private and to the group.
You can use the SAPI5 version of Eloquence or the NVDA add-on
sold by CodeFactory.
As the NVDA add-on have a bad sound on some systems, I recommend
to test the add-on or buy the SAPI5 version...

Hi. Responding publicly as others may also be interested in this
question.
The Eloquence voices from NVDA work well on the systems which
I've used with it. I did not purchase the SAPI5 voices but instead
purchased the Eloquence/Vocalizer addon from Code Factory, which
is designed to exclusively work with NVDA. I am not familiar with
a voice named Bryan.

Let me encourage you to beware of CodeFactory.
I bought the CodeFactory Eloquence about two years ago from CodeFactory, mostly because I had become used to Eloquence with JAWS.
After installing and reinstalling it without success, our IT Department (and we have over 1,000 employees and an IT staff of over 20 people), CodeFactory’s technical support just
said “Sorry.”
Certainly, our level of security is higher than most, but for technical support simply to give up and not even offer a refund left our IT Department and me amazed. What kind
of organization does that?
It was only $30, but for me, it is a matter of integrity. I might have refused an offer of a refund, but not even to offer one spoke volumes to me about the integrity of the
organization.
I’m happy with Microsoft’s One Core voices. In fact, when I use JAWS with Eloquence, it is just a bit unpleasant now.

Had to reply even with the fact its not a direct NVDA issue.
Code factory good days are gone.
I got the impression they just higher part time developers to patch
their software for the newr OS releases.
Now they have the worst licensing check on android
And windows, plus they simply a banded Eloquence development after
they sold it overpriced to almost all the blind people that used to
use that TTS engine.
That as well speaks volumes on their behalf.

The Code Factory version of Eloquence has weird pronunciation in some words. It isn't worth 70 or something dollars IMO. And the Vocalizer voices that are bundled with eloquence lag as hell.

If you want something similar google the ibm tts add on. You will need to supply your own ibm dll but I have an add on someone put together that someone bundled with the dll. I can give it if anyone is intrested , ti works with nvda 19.1 and higher. Do not have rate boost on as you will get weird results when switching devices.

I was able to get help installing the NVDA and
Eloquence on my Win10 PC created by David CM, although the version on the BHP
website was corrupted. A subscriber and contributer to the list, Luke Davis,
resolved all my issues. It seems to be working well so
far.
Cordially yours, and
Listening for HIS shout!

No surprise there.

Hello! In private and to the group.
You can use the SAPI5 version of Eloquence or the NVDA add-on sold by CodeFactory.
As the NVDA add-on have a bad sound on some systems, I recommend to test the add-on or buy the SAPI5 version...

Given that my name has been dropped in this, I think it behooves me to explain.
In this particular case, Grant had a paid Eloquence license from Code Factory, which could not be activated on his Win 10 machine. AT Guys sent him to Code Factory for support, and repeated attempts to contact Code Factory failed to obtain any response or results.
I did not see any ethical issue with making some version of Eloquence work under such circumstances, since he already had a valid paid license that the vendor wouldn't help him use.

subscriber and contributer to the list, Luke Davis, resolved all my issues. It seems to be working well so far.

-- End Quoted Material -- Luke, Unfortunately, though I get what you're saying, it just doesn't work that way. It is up to the vendor, and the vendor alone, in consort with the purchaser to get something to work. If the "some version" is hacked/cracked the law does not care, at all, that someone holds a valid license, as if they do they should be using a valid copy. --
