Their demo says, Just imagine it! with an exclamation point, and, sure enough, if you type it that way it sounds like a really excited person. If, however, you type Imagine that! it is said with typical intonation. I tried a few other phrases and the same thing holds true, so I think that only key phrases can be made to be expressed that way. It can laugh, cry, cough, yawn and sneeze though--but it'd be cheaper and sound better to get someone to do an actual voice over. Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive!

[Audyssey] default game voices
Hi, That tip Tom gave me about making a voice the windows default voice, how do I make it detect or redetect voices? What I mean is, with JAWS I've got eloquence voices, and I've also got some L and H voices, but they don't show up in the voice lists, is there a way to make an Eloquence voice a default Windows voice? Also, does anyone know, you can email offlist if not interesting to other people, but from where can I get more free voices, like those Festival ones, can they be used in windows? There are many synthesizers, like Mary, but are they Sappi 5 compatible or can they be used?

At 09:27 p.m. 16/12/2007, you wrote: Hiya, This is one of those games you stumble onto completely by accident. At least, I do--I'm not sure if others do the same or not. Anyway, it's quite accessible and has the potential for hours of fun, so I'll explain: The game is set in a science fiction universe. You play a ship captain, for one of four different factions in the game who are in more or less constant war with each other. Your objective is quite simple: to rise in the ranks, however you can. You can do this by trading goods back and forth, by going on missions for your faction, by becoming a pirate, and a lot of other things besides. The thing I like most about this game so far is that the story is not scripted. It's influenced a lot by what you do in the game. Also, there's the potential for a lot of replay value: you'll probably not have the same game twice. To anyone who is familiar with the game Trade Wars, for old BBS systems, this is similar in some ways. The trick of it is that it's single player, and something you have to buy, though there is a free trial available. In terms of accessibility, the game has a lot of controls which I found I need to navigate with the Window-Eyes mouse cursor. I think Jaws should be able to do similar things with its cursor. There are no realtime elements to speak of. The combat, traveling, etc. is all turn-based. The one obsticle which might get in the way of enjoying this game is the music. You can turn it off in the options menu, but it's quite loud initially so hearing the options menu in the first place could be tough. However, it's not impossible. The sound effects in the game will tell you enough anyway. I think that I'm sufficiently impressed with this game to buy it. You can download the trial at: http://www.download-free-games.com/war_game_download/smugglers3.htm The trial lasts for an hour of gameplay, which is enough to get the general feel of things, even if it will cut off in the middle. This is an hour only, and once it's up, it's up. Enjoy, and do let me know what you think or if you have questions. All the best, Zack. _ The best games are on Xbox 360.

I disagree with making it possible to warp back. Keeping it the way it is keeps re playability because you will learn to get all your stuff as you come across it. if you miss out on a key, too bad.

Damien Sadler said the following on 12/12/2007 9:06 AM: while we're on the topic, another suggestion would be if the warp; platform lead you to another warp platform than just a space. that way if you need to get back for anything you can. for example, i must've missed a key on level 4 a few minutes ago, because it wouldn't let me into the room. i'd just come off the warp platform. but there was no way back to see if i could find the key. regards, damien -- Raul A.

I swap out a few audio files with a Click, Click Click sound and then set the voice say the number it lands on. The replacements was for the 1 die and I may have to go to the double dice sound. Many times when spinning I get a dice sound effect. If you want to hear Crash's Christmas Wheel I will be using my GM Dice with my changes today at 2:30pm ET on FTP. Sat at 8:30 Sunday and Monday at again 2:30pm. Look for me in the Crash's Surprise Theater room where I will be dong Christmas classic stories. The Wheel now is up to $50. How it works is during breaks each room participate will get a chance at the spin on the wheel. Right now during the Christmas time the wheel is set up to 30. While no one is talking one one of my computer I spin the wheel and if I hear a dice roll I keep doing it until I hear my spinning Wheel then press the Control key to broad cast the sound and the outcome. That's why if you or anybody can create a easy Spinning wheel may even with exchangeable voices since the wheel highest number will not going to be really a big number. Or even let it be a part of GM Dice where one of the F keys can just do the Prize Wheel. Now if one wants to bring it even further for a Prize Wheel. Instead of numbers actually prizes could be put on the wheel. A program with both options of numbers and prizes would be really cool. The intro music for such a program. What else Spinning Wheelso!

I would have taken a lot longer to come up with computer opponents and the main feature of bowling is to try to get a better score, so you are really playing against all your past scores. That is in the registered version. It records your results and you can follow your average as it gets higher as you get better with the game. In the easiest setting the game is very easy to get strikes and a perfect 300 score, but when you get to harder difficulty levels it is almost impossible to get a perfect score. We put the easiest setting in for small children and people just learning the game.

Hi Bryan, Not necessarily true.

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
Hi Kuvvosh, I seriously, doubt you have enough cash to buy any of the Loquendo voices. When USA Games looked into them a while back for licensing the price quoted to us was out ragious for any small corperation. Basically, I got the feeling Loquendo's major customers are companies with heavy telecom uses for voice mail systems, phone help systems, and things of that nature. Basically, someone with allot of cash and willing to pay for the voices at a high fee. Kuvvosh wrote: Oh, My. . . Goosh. . . I got to have some of these voices. . .

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
Hi Josh, Not in your life. The Loquendo voices have never sold that cheap, and I doubt they ever will. The company that owns those voices is very very very anal about their product. They sell ownly to clients with fat wallets. As for Jaws I am not surprised. Freedom Scientific has a narrow view of clients wishes. I remember phoning in a complaint about Dectalk Access Software and Jawaand the basically blew me off. They said it wasn't under the tech support any more since they dropped it x versions back, and I should use Eloquence instead. Never mind I think Dectalk sounds better than Eloquence they had this attitude if you aren't using what everyone else is using then you aren't important. As a result I have no problems seeing how loquendo could have issues with Jaws, and FS totally ignores fixing those bugs until they are good and ready. To them what Jaws ships with is all you need to use. Well, I best quit before I get on a big soap box and start a screen reader flame war.

[Audyssey] Phil Vlasak and the deathly patches,
Hi Folks, With Christmas heading towards us fast like a steam engine, here is a reprint from, http://www.audiogames.net/ Phil Vlasak and the deathly patches, November 27 2007, from dark empathy Uber Hyper-Advanced Super Audio Gamer From: The Ivory Tower Registered: 2005-12-16 Posts: 1545 Yes, the biggest, nastiest, and most recent patchment of Phil Vlasak's fantastic Sarah game fulfills all appropriate prophecies by apparating straight onto your harddrives. As you might expect, Phil has cursed the bug population of this amazing harry potter 3D exploration and adventure game into oblivion, but also he gives us more new features that you can wave a death stick at. The layout of the castle has been magically pushed into line, so that it as closely as possible resembles that given out by Jk herself, particularly in the matter of the hufflepuff and Ravenclaw common rooms. We also have new creatures, new magic items, new spells, the chance to borrow Syrius black's favorite form of transportation, and even some new game features as well. Now, pressing O will activate Sarah's object detector which will tell you the distance and position of the various magical artifacts you come across. Also, objects no longer constantly speak out their names, but now give out noises instead. then, Sarah has obviously been paying attention in her potions classes, since she's now got a potions kit, which you can examine in her inventory with the X key, to see just how many potions you have. With all these great new features, it's more reason than ever to apparate over to Pcs games http://www.pcsgames.net/sarah.htm Now, if that's it, I'll be off on my broom. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
Hi Cory, I really have to disagree with you on this. Many companies have non-disclosure agreements that prevents a buyer or developer from discussing certain aspects of a product. Anything not in the NDA of course can be freely talked about. If the product were taken by illegal means, that information would not belong on list, but discussing the product itself is fine. Since we are on this topic I will simply say i have worked out private agreements with people to trade this or that for something I wanted in the past. It was totally legal, but neither I or the other parties wish to make our agreements publically known. Does that make the parties criminal or unable to talk about the products they traded legally even though neither of us wish to discuss it publically? cory wrote Hi Phil, I believe that if you can't disclose where your getting these voices than you shouldn't be using them for any of your games.

Hi Charles, Yeah, I agree. It is really too bad that more accessible game developers aren't out here interacting with the primary customer base and doing more to share what they know to help other developers along. A while back a bunch of accessible game developers got together and formed a group called, AGDev, but after six months or so the group split up, and the list has almost no traffic at all. That is really a shame. Charles Rivard wrote: Now, this is cool! Game producers suggesting ways to improve someone else's game, on a list, for everyone to read. It won't hurt your sales.

Re: [Audyssey] default game voices
Hi Ari, on Windows 2000, XP, and Vista you can not make Eloquence your default voice because it is not Sapi 5.0 compatible. Eloquence still uses the Sapi 4 standards, and the primary reason it will only work with apps that support Sapi 4. In addition some versions of Eloquence, particular the pile of junk, that ships with Jaws is tied soully to the Jaws authorisation. That version of Eloquence can not be used with anything but Jaws which really bites. As for Festival TTS there is a windows port of it, but it is not Sapi 5 compatible. Every application that uses it has to have it's own voice driver, or if it is a Java application use the Java Speech API. As for Microsoft Mary there is a Sapi 4 and a Sapi 5 version you can get. The full Sapi 5 installation from Microsoft includes all Microsoft voices except Anna which comes with Vista and Windows Server 2008 only. ari wrote: Hi, That tip Tom gave me about making a voice the windows default voice, how do I make it detect or redetect voices? What I mean is, with JAWS I've got eloquence voices, and I've also got some L and H voices, but they don't show up in the voice lists, is there a way to make an Eloquence voice a default Windows voice? Also, does anyone know, you can email offlist if not interesting to other people, but from where can I get more free voices, like those Festival ones, can they be used in windows?

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
That does make sense. It's depressing though, that as security conscious as they are there are still those who find ways to crack into their products.

I suspect if Phil did obtain them legally he is under NDA license agreement not to talk about what he knows. If he got them illegally then I doubt he will announce that publically.

Hi Raul, I have to agree with you on this one. I can say I have no immediate plans of allowing a gamer to warp back to a previous area.

Re: [Audyssey] Tempral Disturbence Problem
Hi Hunter, Seriously, they aren't that big a deal. The only two options for dealing with them is destroy them or trapping them in a room you plan to never enter again. As for getting bounced around once you know the level layout being bounced isn't always a bad thing. You can sometimes use the teleporter to get back to where you were or near the area where the temperal disturbance transported you. I only hate it when a td bounces me and drops me smack dab in the middle of a monster army and I am getting shot, hit, and bitten from all sides. Now, that really sucks.

As for Jaws I am not surprised. Freedom Scientific has a narrow view of clients wishes. I remember phoning in a complaint about Dectalk Access Software and Jawaand the basically blew me off. They said it wasn't under the tech support any more since they dropped it x versions back, and I should use Eloquence instead. Never mind I think Dectalk sounds better than Eloquence they had this attitude if you aren't using what everyone else is using then you aren't important. As a result I have no problems seeing how loquendo could have issues with Jaws, and FS totally ignores fixing those bugs until they are good and ready. To them what Jaws ships with is all you need to use. Well, I best quit before I get on a big soap box and start a screen reader flame war.

As you might expect, Phil has cursed the bug population of this amazing harry potter 3D exploration and adventure game into oblivion, but also he gives us more new features that you can wave a death stick at. The layout of the castle has been magically pushed into line, so that it as closely as possible resembles that given out by Jk herself, particularly in the matter of the hufflepuff and Ravenclaw common rooms. We also have new creatures, new magic items, new spells, the chance to borrow Syrius black's favorite form of transportation, and even some new game features as well. Now, pressing O will activate Sarah's object detector which will tell you the distance and position of the various magical artifacts you come across. Also, objects no longer constantly speak out their names, but now give out noises instead. then, Sarah has obviously been paying attention in her potions classes, since she's now got a potions kit, which you can examine in her inventory with the X key, to see just how many potions you have. With all these great new features, it's more reason than ever to apparate over to Pcs games http://www.pcsgames.net/sarah.htm Now, if that's it, I'll be off on my broom. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

At 09:27 p.m. 16/12/2007, you wrote: Hiya, This is one of those games you stumble onto completely by accident. At least, I do--I'm not sure if others do the same or not. Anyway, it's quite accessible and has the potential for hours of fun, so I'll explain: The game is set in a science fiction universe. You play a ship captain, for one of four different factions in the game who are in more or less constant war with each other. Your objective is quite simple: to rise in the ranks, however you can. You can do this by trading goods back and forth, by going on missions for your faction, by becoming a pirate, and a lot of other things besides. The thing I like most about this game so far is that the story is not scripted. It's influenced a lot by what you do in the game. Also, there's the potential for a lot of replay value: you'll probably not have the same game twice. To anyone who is familiar with the game Trade Wars, for old BBS systems, this is similar in some ways. The trick of it is that it's single player, and something you have to buy, though there is a free trial available. In terms of accessibility, the game has a lot of controls which I found I need to navigate with the Window-Eyes mouse cursor. I think Jaws should be able to do similar things with its cursor. There are no realtime elements to speak of. The combat, traveling, etc. is all turn-based. The one obsticle which might get in the way of enjoying this game is the music. You can turn it off in the options menu, but it's quite loud initially so hearing the options menu in the first place could be tough. However, it's not impossible. The sound effects in the game will tell you enough anyway. I think that I'm sufficiently impressed with this game to buy it. You can download the trial at: http://www.download-free-games.com/war_game_download/smugglers3.htm The trial lasts for an hour of gameplay, which is enough to get the general feel of things, even if it will cut off in the middle. This is an hour only, and once it's up, it's up. Enjoy, and do let me know what you think or if you have questions. All the best, Zack. _ The best games are on Xbox 360.

Re: [Audyssey] SOD Temperal disturbance
Except that the boss takes damage far more easily than the TD's do, at least as far as I've noticed. It doesn't take nearly as much ammo, especially if you use the BioDdisruptor or the Laser Pistol. Then again what I like to do (spoiler space) since there are so many bosses, is group as many of them together as I can, get them to chase me, then turn and toss a bio grenade into their midst.

[Audyssey] Good Christmas presents?
Hi all, OK, here's the rundown, I've looked at RNIB, I've looked at Independent Living Aids, and, just to really, really make sure, I've looked at SANCB, but I really don't like anything, nothing new. What I want is maybe a puzzle or fun thing that, for someone who doesn't want to sit by the PC, will entertain that person. If it's a puzzle, it must be something that, first, can be done on a person's own, a one-player thing, and it would be cool if you can do things with it afterwards, or make different shapes, I don't want to import something that a person completes one time and that's it, it must be sort of entertainming or stimulating for long time. I still find it rubbish that nearly all the board games sold at these places are two-player or more, and even then, we haven't had anything new for years, actually it's getting less! I remember when you could still get a braille cludo, and a braille rubix cube type thing, but even these have disappeared. I do like the balls though, not a bad idea, but I really wish we'd see some new stuff! Oh yes, there's also a digital talking skipping rope at www.cobolt.co.uk but don't ask me what it tells you, a talking skipping rope?

[Audyssey] New things I'd like to see
OK, Just for fun, expanding on the games and Christmas thing, here's some new fun products I'd like to see developed for blindys. Electronic Trivial Persuit machine: This little machine holds thousands of trivia from different subjects, and it comes with a modified board and counters. Every year, a downloadable update is released so as to keep up with new sighted editions of the game. Electronic Thirty Seconds: Nearly the same, see above. Blind cricket bowling machine: now, at last, like the sighted have been doing for years, a modified bowling machine for blind cricket? (differnce is that in blind cricket, ball is thrown underarm, that's why sighted machine can't be used.) Driving course and car for the blind!: This new device is an actual car simulator. This device includes a course, showing you how to change through all the gears, turning the steering wheel in exact relation to degree turns, etc. When you've passed course, you drive on simulated roads, with car shaking and moving exactly how you drive, even making you feel your driving speed, are you the calm, wonderful driver, or will you drive like a mad man, cutting in front of cars and getting involved in accidents, when you're involved in an accident, the simulator ejects you far into the air!

Some games I've enjoyed playing use a new interpreter called Alan, one is called Coming Out Of The Closet by Mikko Voreunen, a one-location, very fun one.

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
Hi Bryan, The horrible truth is that most software is cracked and pirated before the software is ever released to the public. Crackers usually break into companies development systems, stell the source code, modify the security system or write a key generator based on code in the product, and then release the cracked version on major distribution sites all over the world. Either that or seriously interested crackers disassemble the product, create a crack, and reassemble the product with the back door installed. Bryan wrote: That does make sense. It's depressing though, that as security conscious as they are there are still those who find ways to crack into their products. I suppose that's where you write in precautions that disable certain features if a genuine authorization key isn't entered, but I suppose there are ways around that too.

Then I beat the Cowboys 24 to 7 and then the Jets 31 to 14 so I wonder if I can make it to the superbowl for the 3rd time in a row. I wonder if I am starting a record. well I like all the other games as well. I am glad that Monti is coming along and the bopit game I am still working with .

It is not based on the Microsoft Sapi 5 technology. open Mary seams to be designed as a multiplatform speech system for Mac, Windows, and Linux and can't afford to be tied to a very specific speech technology such as Sapi 5. As a general rule of thumb if the application is not Sapi 5 compatible and it is not listed in the list available voices in your game or system voices then it is not compatible with all Windows applications, including accessible games, and can't be used as the default system voice.

Hi Ari, Your true car symulator sounds cool, but a symulator of an Apache helicopter or F-18 Hornet sounds better to me. I think a full symulator game of an F-18 would rock. I could imagine flying it from take off to landing. Do dog fights, and of course talk to other support aircraft and control towers.

Re: [Audyssey] SOD Boss was Temperal disturbance
Indeed, there are five bosses in v1.2. Original message: Hi Bryan, Yeah, I was wondering about that. I finally defeated the boss on the Bring Them On level, and I was wondering why if I killed him there were more coming after me. I kind of thought there might be more than one coming after me. I didn't use biogrenades but I sure took them out with disruptors and lasered quite a few of them. I even killed one of the creeps with the machine gun. I hunted it down and emptied some serious led into the Boss. One thing I did do which was quite cool I used a timed blast mine which killed some of those Boss things. The rest I lasered, machine gunned, disruptored, until they were destroyed. In all my battle with the bosses and other boss monsters took me an hour and a half to complete level 9 today. Bryan wrote: Except that the boss takes damage far more easily than the TD's do, at least as far as I've noticed. It doesn't take nearly as much ammo, especially if you use the BioDdisruptor or the Laser Pistol. Then again what I like to do (spoiler space) since there are so many bosses, is group as many of them together as I can, get them to chase me, then turn and toss a bio grenade into their midst. Even if it doesn't kill all or any of them it leaves them hurting. Then you can either repeat the process or pick them off with your guns.

At 09:27 p.m. 16/12/2007, you wrote: Hiya, This is one of those games you stumble onto completely by accident. At least, I do--I'm not sure if others do the same or not. Anyway, it's quite accessible and has the potential for hours of fun, so I'll explain: The game is set in a science fiction universe. You play a ship captain, for one of four different factions in the game who are in more or less constant war with each other. Your objective is quite simple: to rise in the ranks, however you can. You can do this by trading goods back and forth, by going on missions for your faction, by becoming a pirate, and a lot of other things besides. The thing I like most about this game so far is that the story is not scripted. It's influenced a lot by what you do in the game. Also, there's the potential for a lot of replay value: you'll probably not have the same game twice. To anyone who is familiar with the game Trade Wars, for old BBS systems, this is similar in some ways. The trick of it is that it's single player, and something you have to buy, though there is a free trial available. In terms of accessibility, the game has a lot of controls which I found I need to navigate with the Window-Eyes mouse cursor. I think Jaws should be able to do similar things with its cursor. There are no realtime elements to speak of. The combat, traveling, etc. is all turn-based. The one obsticle which might get in the way of enjoying this game is the music. You can turn it off in the options menu, but it's quite loud initially so hearing the options menu in the first place could be tough. However, it's not impossible. The sound effects in the game will tell you enough anyway. I think that I'm sufficiently impressed with this game to buy it. You can download the trial at: http://www.download-free-games.com/war_game_download/smugglers3.htm The trial lasts for an hour of gameplay, which is enough to get the general feel of things, even if it will cut off in the middle. This is an hour only, and once it's up, it's up. Enjoy, and do let me know what you think or if you have questions. All the best, Zack. _ The best games are on Xbox 360.

Hi You can indeed sometimes find a good tactile puzzle. I'm not meaning a jigsaw, but ones that are somewhat three dimensional in nature. I've got for examples one of those sliding puzzels that you can mess up. Like the BG 15 puzzle game.When it's finished it's a spider. Another is a puzzle you open and it's about 20 various shaped pieces, and a framework to end up looking like a square. This one actually has about 15 different ways it's able to be finished. Having said that the trouble is finding them. Over here I've found them mainly in toy stores or novelty shopps.

Re: [Audyssey] Loquendo voices was Quick question
I'm not sure. I suppose it could, although I have heard that some versions of it can't. I have a deo of the Dectalk 4.3 software and it can sing, so I've been fiddling with that. Lately I've been trying to get it to sing Christmas song parodies.

Bryan wrote: Wow. I've been fascinated with that for a long time now. I've been trying to learn what other synthes besides Dectalk can do it. Right now my main project in that area is getting Dectalk to sing You Really Got me by The Kinks, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about Phonemes to get it to come out right.

Wow. That's really quite depressing. I guess all you can hope for then is that enough people are willing to pay for the product the right way to make the whole thing worthwhile.

Crackers usually break into companies development systems, stell the source code, modify the security system or write a key generator based on code in the product, and then release the cracked version on major distribution sites all over the world. Either that or seriously interested crackers disassemble the product, create a crack, and reassemble the product with the back door installed. Bryan wrote: That does make sense. It's depressing though, that as security conscious as they are there are still those who find ways to crack into their products. I suppose that's where you write in precautions that disable certain features if a genuine authorization key isn't entered, but I suppose there are ways around that too.

Re: [Audyssey] SOD Boss was Temperal disturbance
That's actually one of my favorite parts of the game. First you blast your way through ll those monsters just to get to the door, then you go in and fight off those bosses.

I finally defeated the boss on the Bring Them On level, and I was wondering why if I killed him there were more coming after me. I kind of thought there might be more than one coming after me. I didn't use biogrenades but I sure took them out with disruptors and lasered quite a few of them. I even killed one of the creeps with the machine gun. I hunted it down and emptied some serious led into the Boss. One thing I did do which was quite cool I used a timed blast mine which killed some of those Boss things. The rest I lasered, machine gunned, disruptored, until they were destroyed. In all my battle with the bosses and other boss monsters took me an hour and a half to complete level 9 today. Bryan wrote: Except that the boss takes damage far more easily than the TD's do, at least as far as I've noticed. It doesn't take nearly as much ammo, especially if you use the BioDdisruptor or the Laser Pistol. Then again what I like to do (spoiler space) since there are so many bosses, is group as many of them together as I can, get them to chase me, then turn and toss a bio grenade into their midst. Even if it doesn't kill all or any of them it leaves them hurting. Then you can either repeat the process or pick them off with your guns.

You know what is even more fun.

Re: [Audyssey] Good Christmas presents?
You can occasionally find 3 dimensional jigsaw puzzles. I have one that is an apple toat comes apart into about 50 pieces. Lotsa luck getting it back together, though. The puzzle is built in layers. Then, there is the puzzle that looks like a solid cube of wood that comes apart into 6 pieces.

Hi You can indeed sometimes find a good tactile puzzle. I'm not meaning a jigsaw, but ones that are somewhat three dimensional in nature. I've got for examples one of those sliding puzzels that you can mess up. Like the BG 15 puzzle game.When it's finished it's a spider. Another is a puzzle you open and it's about 20 various shaped pieces, and a framework to end up looking like a square. This one actually has about 15 different ways it's able to be finished.
