Go to account, then go to orders. The code is going to be after you click the order number in the table. I believe at the bottom somewhere after the description. You will be a section with your registration information.

No, nothings for free, including the free voices. You either pay in time or in money. If you didn't buy the voices, we cannot help you due to legal reasons.

Hi, do you mean, even with the free voices do you eventually have to pay for them when you try the code factory? I don’t mind paying for the free voices. I just want to know if you try the free voices as a short trial witch eventually you have to pay for them? I’m happy with the voice NVDA comes with. But if I want to try the free voices from the code factory I’d try the free voices but I’ll pay for it.

Free trial means just that, a free trial. If you want to continue using them, you will have to pay once the trial period runs out. On Mon, Aug 8, 2022 at 1:53 PM Arlene <nedster66@...> wrote:

Okay, I understand. I like it that way. If you find you don’t like the voices and your free trial runs out then you are not obligated to pay for it. Where as other screen readers you get extra voices after you pay for it. You not only pay for the voices you pay for things that are included like the high technical addons you won’t use.

Oh yeah, if you in general can’t afford the voices in code factory. Then you in general should pay for a more expensive screen reader with the voices they include.

Thanks,
I have been using NVDA since its first release and it does a veery credible job. I set up a small monthly donation , mostly to help keep the software alive and growing.
I periodically Renew my JAWS license as there are times when I need to work with users and like to keep up my basic skills there as well. Rick

That’s certainly an option if you absolutely insist on being able to use the Eloquence or Vocalizer voices. However, many people may be able to adjust to Microsoft’s voices as their newer ones are quite pleasant to listen to. As I grew up with more old-school speech products I’m personally still a fan of Espeak and still often resort to using it. I’m just trying to say that buying another screen reader isn’t a user’s only option if the Code Factory voices aren’t affordable. Also, Code Factory sells SAPI-compliant versions of Eloquence for around $60.00 U.S. which might be a bit easier to purchase. These voices can be used with NVDA as well as Narrator. .

What’s odd is that the Sapi5 Vocalizer voices are no longer listed in Code Factory’s app catalog. I did find them on Harpo Software’s list of voices, however.

I've only tried the Windows 10 Microsoft voices that come by default
with the American installation of Windows 10. I find the voices to
vary significantly in quality.

Of the installed voices, I find Zira to be the best in terms of the combination of a more human sounding voice and enunciation. I find it superior to the Vocalizer voices I've sampled. People have very different opinions about voices they like but if people are trying or want to try Vocalizer voices, I think they should compare them with Microsoft voices.

Hi, Gene,
The Microsoft Zira voice is my favorite one too. She sounds even better than the Vocalizer voices in my opinion.

Not to beat a dead horse but it also occurs to me that if someone can’t afford the voices from Code Factory then they surely won’t be able to afford a screen reader that already contains those voices since that screen reader will cost even more money.

And using a for profit screen-reader, you will keep having to spend
money on an ongoing basis, ;purchasing an annual license every year
or purchasing a user service agreement, if that is the correct name
for a longer period of time. When you purchase the voices being
discussed, you pay once.

The implication that it is cheaper to buy a for profit screen-reader than it is to buy voices such as the ones being discussed is wrong. Gene On 8/9/2022 6:17 PM, David Goldfield

Yeah, you have the right idea. I don’t know what this stands for but with a Jaws licence it’s called a SMA. You pay for it every 2 years. I’d rather get an addon from NVDA core voices and you pay for them if you choose to. With other screen readers like Jaws you have to pay for everything that comes with it like the voices and other scripts / addons you are forced to purchase. Where as NVDA you can choose to get the addons you want.

Most add-ons in NVDA are free. Certain voice add-ons are sold by
certain companies for profit.

I don't know what you mean about core voices in NVDA. There are free Microsoft One Core voices that are a free part of Windows and that work in NVDA. Other voices you can add, whether free or paid, aren't referred to as Core. There are arguments for and against the JAWS approach regarding features and the NVDA approach, using add-ons for many features available in JAWS. If you want or use features in JAWS NVDA doesn't have, you may consider purchasing it to be either necessary or desirable. There are advantages in the add-on model NVDA uses and disadvantages, just as there are advantages and disadvantages in the model JAWS uses. Depending on your needs and to an extent preferences, one screen-reader may serve you better. I think we are in a particularly good position, having various screen-readers to choose from.
