Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
Hi Thomas, You are probably right... But it doesn't mean that I have to like it. And while it is not really game relevant in a direct manner, it should be mentioned somewhere, since we had talks about what platforms game developers should or should not support in the near future. And what I don't get is why it is seemingly super easy and cheap to get nearly all current Acapela voices for Mac for personal use, while it is nearly impossible to do it for Windows. If the major screen reader companies would make deals like with Nuance, then I still could get German children's voices or an Australian English female v voice, even if it was limited to one program... But not even that seems to be possible to keep with that example, because the voices I mentioned are sold freely for MAC, but neither free (SAPI) nor a limited (non SAPI) variant can be bought (at the moment). And when I say that something can't be bought I do not mean that I can't afford it, I mean it is not available. I know of JAWS 15 and IOS 7 and that both will bring new voices for their respective products. But it is still not nice when you know what there is and you can't buy it as simple as buying your newest Microsoft Office, Windows or whatever. And that is technically not even limited to blind users, because you can use speech products for lots of purposes, some commercial, and others are non commercial. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
Hi Michael, Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't really get it myself, but apparently Acapela has their reasons. Those may not be good reasons, but apparently they think they can profit by doing it the way they do. Either that or there is some specific reason why they have specifically targeted Mac and only made some of their voices available for Windows. Doesn't sound like good business practice to me, but maybe they have their reasons even if they are not readily apparent to you and I. In the end whatever the reason is we don't have to like it but merely accept that things are the way they are right now. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
That's exactly, what I don't like about this. I know that nextup.com sell SAPI and non SAPI voices... However, regardless of which Windows you have, it is impossible for end users to buy Acapela voices individually for SAPI. You can buy Infovox 4 on USB stick but that is usually limited to five voices out of around 80. On nextup.com you can get many of them, but they are only for use with their own products and thus can't be used with all speech programs. Assistive Ware on the other hand sells Acapela voices individually, but only for Mac users. I would like to have the same service for Windows, because Ivox 3 (Mac version) offers more voices to select from than the Windows Infovox 4 Stick product. If nextup.com could sell SAPI voices like they do non SAPI voices and could update to version 9.1, they could offer the exact same voice catalogue than Assistive ware. I am also aware of the upcoming JAWS 15 and the updated and new Nuance voices. And once more it seems that they are purposefully ignoring the third German voice of Vocalizer Expressive, like the other company did with their voices for NVDA. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
Hi Michael, What can I say? Companies are greedy and they get you to pay for those voices more than once through exclusive licensing deals that only work with a specific product rather than using an open SAPI compliant interface. It sucks, but unless you are willing to tell them just to stick it where the sun doesn't shine you have to pay up or shut up as those companies are quite apparently unwilling to be reasonable about how they sell and license their voices. It is for that reason I try to only deal with companies like Cepstral that has reasonably decent voices, for a reasonable price, with an open SAPI compliant interface. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
Hi Josh, Yes, they most certainly are. They obviously cost a bit more than say the Cepstral voices, but the Ivona 32-bit and 64-bit voices are completely SAPI compliant, and will work with screen readers, games, as well as other text to speech applications like TextAloud and WeatherAloud. Better yet if you let them know you use NVDA Ivona contributes a certain percentage of their sales to blind customers to NVDA development. So by purchasing those voices you are helping donate towards a highly capable, open source, screen reader for Windows. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
Hi David, The only realspeak voices that work independently from JAWS are from the JAWS 8 CD, not the ones from newer versions of JAWS which can be downloaded from their site. Those realspeak voices are tied to JAWS only. I purchased several SAPI voices from www.Nextup .com for as low as $7 US per voice, but they usually cost $30 to $40 a voice. Be careful as Nextup also has voices you can purchase that work only with their software, Text Aloud.

Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
Hello Dave, Part of the problem is when you access the Sapi speech configuration from the Windows 7 Control Panel is its using the 64-bit voices configuration. You need to bring up the older 32-bit configuration by entering this command into the run dialog C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl and then you should be able to set any 32-bit voices you have as your system default. However, the Realspeak voices may not show up if you are using the versions specifically proprietary to Jaws. Those do not have Sapi compatibility and you need to use the versions designed for Jaws 8 for full Sapi compatibility with my patched installer for Windows 7 64-bit machines. I know, it all sounds like a pain in the butt. However, that is what we get for upgrading to newer 64-bit operating systems. The only other option is to spend a little money to get some good 64-bit voices such as those from Ivona which are truly amazing and don't have this problem. Cheers!

I'm wanting to make tom my system's default voice. If anyone has any suggestions i'd appreciate knowing about them. Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts
If you run the following command from the run dialogue - windows key + R, or I also have it in a shortcut on my windows7 64 bit desktop, it lets you select the default SAPI voice for windows - although you might have to do this a couple of times a day - and, the chosen voice then gets used in games, etc. working via SAPI: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: David Mehler dave.meh...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 4:15 AM Subject: [Audyssey] 64 bit windows and tts Hello, Microsoft Anna is driving me nuts.
