Automatic language switching
|
Mohammed Alderweesh <alderweesh.m@...>
Hello list, I was wondering which speech synthesizer supports automatic language switching. I tried both the code factory and the Acapela addons, but I could not get them to work. is there any additional addon that needs to be installed? Note: I checked the automatic language switching in the NVDA settings. I am using NVDA 2020.3 and Windows 10, and I would like the automatic language switching to work for the following languages: English Arabic German Thank you for any input. Mohammed

Things are a little confusing with automatic language switching. When your synth says it supports automatic language switching, that only means that it can switch if NVDA tells it to do so. However, NVDA almost never tells synths to do so, except perhaps for a few webpages, that have proper language attributes markup. Try my add-on Tony's enhancements: https://github.com/mltony/nvda-tonys-enhancements One of the features, is that it sends such a signal to synths based on character set. So you would be able to auto switch between say English and Arabic, or German and Arabic; but not between English and German. You would need to figure out a regular expression to capture all Arabic symbols though. HTH --Tony

Hi.
Acapela supports auto switch between English and Arabic. Just visit the Acapela sub menu in nvda for auto switch settings. Also u can try dual voice addon that does auto switch between latin and none latin based languages for Sapi5 TTS engines

May be the following addon and synthesis help you. Dual Voice for NVDA, is an open source speech driver for NVDA screen reader. This let use two separate voices for reading non-Latin and Latin languages. This add-on is compatible with SAPI5 (Speech API version 5) and MSSP (Speech Platform). This NVDA add-on need one non-Latin and one Latin voices with common interface. Both non-Latin and Latin voices must have Speech API... eSpeak: speech synthesis Text to Speech engine for English and many other languages. Compact size with clear but artificial pronunciation. Available as a command-line program with many options, a shared library for Linux, and a Windows SAPI5 version. You get them from:https://sourceforge.net/projects/espeak/and use eloquence sapi5 for English.
