the link. They don't have a sound pack, so we'll just have to come up with one.

well to be honest I have not bothered with the curser though I
wouldn't mind if I knew what that was to.
I use it for what it can read without it which is most things.

Hi all,
As I am now in the process
I'd personally really love to see Heather return because she seems to be a
better voice than Tom, to me anyway. And it fits more with a female
character, though judging by what people already wrote in the thread i'm in
the minority here that think so... heck, i'm even the first one to say so.
Hi,
I downloaded the Windows x86 version of Mota and am having much difficulty
playing it on my 64-bit system. It just freezes up and will not respond after
I try turning on the laser site. Why would this be? I even unloaded my NVDA
before playing.

I found a very interesting, very different mud called Achaea. It's so weird
and complex I can't wrap my head around it yet, but that's certainly preferable
to the typical hack and slash style game. This game does seem promising, and
its creators pride themselves in its depth. I'll let you

Hi Charles,
Yeah, it looks so far like most of the replies are ok with the current
voice rate as well. There was one or two suggestions forHeather, one
or two in favor of slowing it down, but the majority seem to be in
favor of keeping it as is. At least as things stands now.

Actually, from my point of view you released mota at something like half

MOTA is tiny compared to mainstream games. you guys should really stop
complaining about size lol. on the PSN store, a new game just came out
called Infamous 2. the game's download's 15 gigabytes. now tell me after

Hi Dark,
While I understand it looks like a lot of work for little gain its a

Hi Phil,
Yes, the reason I stopped using Heather is the Acapella engine has
difficulty pronouncing various words. For example, I'd try to get
Heather to say Centaur and it would say something totally off the
wall. I'd then break it into two different words like cent and
tore,and Heather would say
Tom who? I just had to ask.

Hi Thomas,
I am just not a fan of Scansoft Tom, as I think the voice is of lesser
quality than some of the others.
I noticed that some of the voices had larger download sizes and most of
the time, the larger the download the clearer the voice sounded to me.
I suspect that some of the voices
Hi Dark,
Thanks. That does help somewhat. That said, though, I don't think
every voice handles speech settings the same. For instance, I set Tom
to 65% in the Windows control panel and it sounded a lot faster than
Daniel. So perhaps that voice is just geared for speed, or it is the
way the voice

there, where Tom tends

Any way to include punctuation that will cause a pause and denote
inflection? It's a personal thing, but I like Tom's lack of an accent over
those that pronounce enter as enTuh, or far as fah. That just bugs
the heck out of me.

Hi Thomas,
I think its the way they trim silence off the recordings.
Tom is probably trimmed shorter than Heather.
Text aloud does have a feature that extends the pauses between words.
The tag is {{Pause=.5}} for half a second
Try tom on this sentence:
Climb {{Pause=.2}}Up {{Pause=.5}}Up
Be neat if someone were able to record it.

Hi Willem,
Yeah, I realize there is no such thing as a perfect voice. Especially,
with TTS engines. They all have their pros and cons. That said, I'm
experimenting with Tom, and the problem with not pausing between words
is difficult to fix. I can insert commas between words as Phil

Ok, I tried it and the pauses are way to long. The voice is also very

Hi Dark,
Yeah, I noticed that myself. Scansoft Daniel seems to talk and respond
slower than say Scansoft Tom. That's why in a game like SoundRTS most

Hi Thomas,
the .2 of a second and .5 of a second pauses were just a guess.
You could reduce them to .1 and .3 and try it again.

Good to know you are working on rr2.

In dvd audio extracter when you brought the game you had to get your
