they use nuance voices and you can't buy these particular ones on the
market so if that is the case, it is a suggestion for MA to consider.

Hello,
Thank you for explaining this cordially. Of course I know how the
business world operates. I also know that with arrangements with a
certain company, users can pay a fee to enable them to use a certain
feature or voice. For example, the NVAccess team is working to permit
the use of Eloquence in their program for a fee. So, based on the
suggestion that the original poster made, MA can respond if they
choose to by stating that "we're working on this with the voice
company" or "We've tried but the voice company said no". Or maybe "Oh,
that's a great idea!! We'll look into it". Either way, a voice
manufacturer can't proffit if they limit themselves by only allowing
their product to be used by one screen reader. If an individual wishes
to purchase a voice, they should be allowed to do so, although I don't
know what voice company MA uses or what their policy for this is.
Thanks.

hi Nimer,
in my respond i never mention that people are not willing to pay for the
vocalizer voice, and i never mention that people are asking
for free. i am telling the fact that the vocalizer voice is indeed not an
open source and therefore CF are paying some amount of
money for the vocalizer voice to nuance. this is the same situation as
freedomscientific and GW micro which also dont allow user to
use the eloquence voice to another screen reader too.
if CF to make vocalizer as system voice, everyone will be using the built-in
vocalizer voice with another screen reader such as
talkback and spiel. if vocalizer is an open source, this is fine, but in
reality, it wasn't the case. remember that in a business
world, everyone is indeed selfish.

Uh Alan, thanks for the assholish response. The reason wasn't that
obvious if people asked about this. And I'm sure that users wouldn't
mind paying for the premium voice. Nobody said anything about it being
free. And seeing as the cost for MA is outrageously high (in my
opinion at any rate), you would think that the cost for this could be
absorbed. Anyway ...

This would be good, but I have a request of codefactory and a question. It
would be nice if one version of MA be in motible languages. This leeds me
to
my question. I was using the Svox voices then they updated. I have version
2.2 of android and I am now having problems with the voices delaying in
the
reading and stopping unexpectedly and not saying anything for a little
while
or until after I turn the phone off and back on. Is it the phone (mytouch
3g) or the version of android with the updated version of svox? Does
anyone
else have this problem? I can't even contact svox as their web sight
doesn't
have a contact page. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Jeff
