Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up Yeah, I guess I just don't give a shit about efficiency. Rather, I think I'm efficient enough where I'm at. I certainly read books or articles faster than most sighted people I know anyway. I guess I figure it's a decently fast

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up I can understand Eloquence at the speed of 40 with rate boost on, how is that for a non native English speaker like me, and aged between 15 17? I am working on it to increase the speach rate more, and to understand it without any

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up Hi all, I'm also a non native english speaker, but I don't think the challenge would be to understand any concepts or new words in the text I would be reading, personally. To me, the constant speeding up annoys me. Sure, I use my

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up I think efficiency is important in different ways to different people. For instance, I think some people want to be as efficient as possible all the time, no exceptions. So they'll routinely use speech rates which would kill me

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up @12 it's a being up-to-speed with sighted people thing. Having slow speech makes us less productive. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/603363/#p603363 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up my current is 85% with out rate boost, that's for most things, for online games and/or muds I go up to 95, and for articles I go with 70each 2 months or so, all speeds will jump up +5% so 85 will become 90, as I get slowly used

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up I'm using Eloquence, rate 75. I honestly do not understand the obsession of a chunk of the blind community for cranking their speech up as fast as possible. You get the same effect you get turning up the speed on audio books

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up I use 75 for most things, but go as high as 85 without rate boost for MUDs that have spammy combat. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/60/#p60 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up Well, rate 70 with rate boost for normal things, for example reading the forum or programming. I slow it down to like 50 or so for novels or long articles/proofreading for school, but that's my normal rate. I'm actually surprised

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up 80 without rate boost over here. I can tolerate up to 100 *without* rate boost, but anything above 80 just starts to sound, IDK, unpleasant to me. Like I can understand it, but it requires a good bit more concentration, and it's

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up As I am not a native English speaker, I definitely can't go that insane on speech rates. However, I  can talk about my own language. Here, ESpeak is the best option. It does indeed sound weird with rate boost, however the variant I

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up Hello,I don't know how people go on that fast, but I cannot get above eloquence 85% without rate boost. And even with 85% I can look at short stuff not like tweets. But ı think a major factor is English is not my native language. I

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up Nothing is as fast and responsive, while maintaining a clarity of tone as eloquence. I really wish we had other options. Vocalizer, Acapela, etc. are good for reading articles and things where you don't care about blazing fast

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up Wait... 70 percent with rate boost? That's insane!I guess if you really get into those rates, Eloquence and ESpeak are your only options. Would be interested to hear if there are others which can do that, though. URL: https

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up

Re: nitpicky about how smoothly speech synths can speed up Yup, eSpeak does certainly sound different after rate 100, or rate boost on past like 15. Bothers me none, as I have no reason to use it. It probably would though, as I would have it pretty fast (Eloquence rate boost on, rate 70
