Locked Question about SAPI 4 version of eloquence
|
Louise Pfau
Hi. I use a combination of JAWS, OpenBook, and NVDA, so I have a
fully-licenced copy of Eloquence. The interesting thing is that what
sounds like a combination of Eloquence and IBM Viavoice (depending on which
voice you select) is listed as “SAPI 4” in the NVDA list of synthesizers.
The only thing I can think of regarding what sounds like the Viavoice
synthesizer is that it might be a remnant from an older version of
OpenBook. Given the recent discussion about using software, I want to make
sure I’m not doing anything wrong.
Thanks,
Louise |

It may be a remnant of an old Openbook but it is nothing to worry
about. If IBM had cared if Via Voice was used with other programs on your
machine after you purchased it along with a program, they would have restricted
its use as Vispero restricts its version of Eloquence to only its
programs. Since IBM could have done this for all the years it used Via
Voice and didn’t, I consider that as meaning that they didn’t care if it was
used with other programs.

also did you know that viavoice outloud sapi4 tts is available to download for free on IBM's publically available and open ftp site? It's buried inside of some folders on ftp.software.ibm.com ... But yes it is there for anybody to go grab and install and use.

Will it work with windows 10 or is it for older systems?

ibm has an ftp. You know I will have to brouse about. My only issue with sapi4 viavoice is it can be hard to remove sometimes.

This program requires Windows CE services, meaning it is really meant for pocket PC's and other old devices. I can't say for legality of this, but I recommend not using it. Cheers, Joseph -----Original Message-----

What browser or FTP client are you using? The llink does work.
It may be that your browser doesn’t support ftp links or that there is a problem
with the browser.

However, you are in a list of files with names that don’t tell us what the
files are for. Which one or ones should be used for what?

I just tried it and I do get to an ftp directory. However, the file names are in "geek speak" format and make no sense to me. I don't know which file I need to download in order to install it.
