Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence I'd be willing to pay for another copy of Eloquence as long as it came with no DRM, or at least something more reasonable than the DRM CodeFactory is using on it now. Needing at least 30 seconds to start up is ridiculous!

Re: sapi5 eloquence I think it was the other way arround. Scansoft baught nuance in 2004 I believe, but their time at scansoft while they owned nuance was short-lived, as they renamed themselves nuance the following year, just to trick into thinking nuance baught nuance. Damn nuance, you sneaky!

Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence Right now, you couldn't get me to install anything from Nuance on my computer unless it was free. And then you'd be fighting an up hill battle.Nuance used to be Scansoft, I don't know all the details surrounding the name change, but I do know that after the name change they seemed to be more about their bottom line than giving value to their customers.Back before I lost my vision I used PaperPort to manage my documents, it was a great program with lots of useful features, then Scansoft became Nuance. Then Nuance released PaperPort 13 and what a turd it was, it was so changed from what it was when they were Scansoft that it was barely recognizable. I return version13 and went back to version 12 and have never considered buying anything from them ever again.Then after I lost my vision, one of the rehabilitation specialists that helped me recommended I use Omnipage with Microsoft Word to read my mail. What a mistake! Omnipage is yet another fine pr ogram from Scansoft that Nuance has ruined. It was so bad I eventually bought Open Book from Freedom Scientific and have been very happy with it.It's a pity Eloquence is owned by Nuance, as good as it is, it would probably be far better if somebody else owned it.

Re: sapi5 eloquence what about the AT guys installer?btw, I'm still pissed off that nuance forced code victory to charge $70 for something based on technology that hasn't been updated in years. and that's coming from someone who has gotten it for cheep, and legally too, back in the days where Roburt bets was the king of sv games. His sv games used eloquence and he only charged $20 at the time (later decreased to $15), and that's taking all the factor into account: he is self-employed, hasd justgraduated from college at the time his company was formed, and yes, outright refused to spare any ecxpences (these include all royalties to nuance, or in the case of the sv games during this time, ETI).

Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence LOL! Youve got to be kidding! DRM doesnt stop piracy, it only delays it a day or two, or if youre really lucky, a week.Take it from a DRM professional developer with ten years of experience and twenty years of cracking experience, contrary to popular belief, there is and never will be an uncrackable DRM system. For every lock there is a key.DRM is like a lock, it only keeps an honest person honest, a determined thief is going to find a way around or through the lock.

Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence Something to watch?A couple of days ago I ran into a problem where SAPI would only say one particular phrase no matter what was sent to it.It turned out to be that Eloquence lost its registration data and so reverted back to an expired trial and that repeating the last thing sent to it was normal behavior.What Id like to know is, is the number of activations limited? This becomes especially important if the registration data is prone to be lost requiring occasional re activation.

Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence I believe as long as the activations are on the same machine, youre fine. Its a pretty invasive activation system, but they are becoming more paranoid about preventing piracy so therefore use some pretty invasive commercial drm system. Remember, as much as preventing piracy is important, drm always hits the genuine customer harder than the pirate.

Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence Exactly. Ethics should rule over drm. The really only exception to sharing music is if you were giving the music to someone while you both were in the same place, like how we used to pass around cds and such. But uploading to a file transfer service and letting like 10 people download it? Nope. Thats a matter of buy it yourself. Some devs get slightly bigheaded and implement strong drm hoping/thinking it will truly rid piracy for that piece of software. It will certainly reduce it, but no it wont avoid it entirely. Still like I said ethics is number 1 when it comes to things like this. Drm is just there to complicate things for pirates obviously, but unfortunately complicate things even more for legit buyers.

Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence I notice this place is in the UK, do these voices have US English?I think that besides Eloquence, JAWS also comes with Vocalizer Expressive. I know I downloaded all the high definition Nuance voices they had on their web site for JAWS users, but dont remember if they are for Eloquence or Vocalizer Expressive. I have been happy enough with the default Eloquence voice that I havent gotten around to trying them out. Some day when I get ambitious, I will!So far, except for some voice samples for Kate and Mike? SAPI 5 voices that I heard somewhere, the default Eloquence voice in JAWS is the best sounding and most understandable of all the text to speech voices Ive heard. Id love it if Nuance would release Eloquence for iOS to replace the Siri and VoiceOver voices.

Re: sapi5 eloquence
Re: sapi5 eloquence
Eloquence and espeak are the leaders of responsiveness on windows. To everyone using a virtual machine, either on windows or mac, or maybe even bootcamp, you will need to do some stuff before installing eloquence. As an antipiracy measure, they are using a commercial drm solution called Themita. This controls stuff like number of computers your license is installed on, etc. Disadvantage is that themita restricts the software from being installed on virtual machines. This is obviously an annoying hurdle to jump. Fortunately, there is a way around it. Ok so you gotta now open the .vmx file of your virtual machine. If its a newly formatted mac vm thats packaged in a single file, v-o+shift+m on the vm, show package contents, the nfind the .vmx file. Now go to the end of the file and add the following line.monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUEBackdoor is the system that contains information about the computer and notes that it is in deed a virtual
machine, and installers like this one that have drm coded in them will look for this information. As you will know if you have tried installing eloquence in a vm, they got an error saying, Sorry, this software cant be installed in a vm, its that information that the installer is getting. Restricting backdoor will make sure the virtual machines badge of nonhonor is not exposed and is not being worn.But it makes the virtual machine look like a real computer rather than a vm. Now save the vmx. Youre still not done, cause now you gotta change the display. The Themita drm will go crazy and check your display! as part of the computer info check. It is smart and knows the vmware display driver when it sees it. You gotta get rid of the evidence that its using vmware display driver. Heres what ya gotta do. Open registry editer. Go to the f
ollowing path. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\ now go to the driver desk key and shift+f10 on that, go to modify. Now delete whats in that name field you land on. Hit ok. Restart windows. Install eloquence. Youre good to go! You shouldnt get any errors from beyond here. Vocalizer for some reason gives an error saying Ve.dll is missing just ignore it, it will finish the install properly anyway. This is near completely legal as all you are doing is making yourself able to install the software, nothing more. As you can see this method does not in anyway involve stripping the drm from the software, just working around it.
