Hi.
I doubt this could happen since the program is so old.

hi all made a tikit i hope some one will make it

If only becoming a hacker were that easy.  Someone go tell RMS he isn't a hacker until he downloads Python and the appropriate libraries! 

Although now I kind of want to divide up everyone on the NVDA contributors list into dev sorce hacker testers, general hackers, and master programmers.  This is all probably going to be soooo much less amusing once I get some sleep.

Please, use punctuation, at least a period here and there.
Thank you.

Hello everybody.
OK this is what I have to tell, so listen. Soft voice isn't free, it was sold as an SDK for developers. So, if someone wants to implement it in a solution, that person have to purchace the entire SDK library as the creators of ST did. by the way I tried that program and well, not bad since it has almost every characteristic of softvoice bundled with it, but a christian like me shouldn't use something like that, you know.
The company who made and distributed soft voice, called text2speech.com, well I don't know what happened with that company. Since 2007 til today, I see their website with the same content, so there isn't any updates. I said 2007 because in that time I heard about it, and also downloaded PW webspeak. If you want, you guys can contact them via the eMail address they provide in their website, but I don't insure they really answer cuzz as I said, I don't know if the company still exist or not.
Its not possible to create an add-on for NVDA like hey did with decTalk, because the difference is that most decTalk stuff  is under public domain, so you can still get this and that. that is not the case of soft voice, there isn't even a library available to play with it, and soft voice wasn't designed to work with SAPI, although I don't know why on earth text2speech promiced a sapi4 version of the package to be releaced soon. The only way to get it to work will be with a version compatible with Arkenstone SSIL, that'll make it to work at least with JAWS. The big problem is, there isn't any file with that old engine.
The only thing that text2speech made available for the public was a little text editor called Talk it, it used the bilingual english/spanish soft voice engine and API. that thing was made first as an example for programmers and regular users to show how it works, it was like a little showcace. But unfortunately they've not make any anouncement, the only anouncement you can see on your website is that the Windows version was releaced, but that happened in 1998. looks like tehy've abandoned the product and its distribution, as well as the company. Let me see what can I do and if there's any possibility to come to an agreement between Andysoft technologies, my little company, and them. though if they don't answer, ladies and gentleman, we have another bavisoft! and here comes mister Sebby to act and make his job, LOL.
But for now, the only solution I see is, if ya wanna have softVoice and its nice and different voices, try PW web speak, its a dinosaur and can't do too much like our modern browsers, but its great and cool. It can even be used with decTalk and sapi4, but the decTalk command in the .ini file never worked to me. The browser worked just fine on Win XP, I dono how good its gonna be with WIndows7, I haven't installed it yet and I don't use it for ages, LOL.
Or, if you prefer, try talk it, though for a screen reader user its very hard to make it talk, because the interface itself is accessible, but the buttons to make it talk and select the voices, didn't work.
Finally, and Gorthalon correct me if I'm wrong. The FL studio music software, from earlier versions when it was called Fruity loops, includes a little set of voices from the softVoice synthesizer, bundled as a library. I know FL studio isn't very accessible, but we're working on a set of scripts for it. OK the point is, I think Gorthalon could use something like this for the speaker test from operation black square, cuzz I recognize the Colosus voice. This voice was also very used in many radio stations of my country

Jees man, well, I think I've explained everything clearly, isn't it?

thanc you! and, how to add this sinth on NVDA?
sorry for my english!

I would assume, ya place these files within the System 32 folder, or the speech folder, both under the windows folder. Have not tried either one myself yet.

hi.
it's a version in spanish?

it's on jake gross's site, if you want it.

Make sure you have turned language switching off. There was a version for a while circulating that was completely broken, but if you now get it either from Jake's site, jeff's site or My dropbox it definitely works fine.

Also here's a link to a modified SymbolsEn file that will let you pass commands to SoftVoice. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bybs6V … sp=sharing After you download it, place it in your config directory, usually c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\nvda, and overwrite the file that's already there. Then restart NVDA. You could use this text to test if SoftVoice commands are working. {{voice male}} I am {{voice oldwoman}} switching voices in the {{voice nerd}} middle of a {{voice martian}} sentence. Also while you're at it, head over to c:\program files(x86\nvda and delete the file named builtin.dic. Then you could send commands like {{f0range 4000}} this funny command that makes SoftVoice sound very animated. Enjoy!
