What is sad is that loquendo and svox are both owned by nuance.

For some reason, nuance has chosen not to sell their voices on the android
market the way loquendo and svox do, I think that's a bad decision on their
part, if they made it available that way, more end users would probably
purchaseit. Ivona also makes their voices available through the market.

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.

Subject: Re: [MA] ma voice as default speech engine.
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
