Hi,
The reason why this exists is because this is a 32 bit version of SoftVoice. When it loads a voice style, it has the default parameters internally.

I heard you can make WillowPond TTS sing. Is this true--re the DECtalk Archives have a file in which it was singing.

I was talking about unrestricted singing, not presetted singing. I went on-line to their web site and this is what I learnt.
You can use the commands {{Spanish}} Hola, como estas? Ay am duing {{English}} Good.
Also, I heard that programmers can get their own kit and make new voices based on the twenty preset voices.
One thing I don't like about it is that it makes a slight clicking sound whenever I interrupt it and then resume what I was doing.

I recently learned keynote gold was made by berkley speech technologies. I wonder if they still exist and if they would make keynote gold for nvda and for android?

Hi.
When I load the addon, it does nothing. I mean there's no speech what so ever. my windows is 64 bit at least I think it is, does that make a difference?

to have speech you have to turn off the automatic language switching and automatic dialect switching checkboxes. at least that's what I've been told.

Hi.  That works great. Hmm these voices aren't that good. OK some of them are funny but for reading things. Well you'd not want to read a home work assignment with the singing voices for example.

hey rather than reinvent the wheel, why not just modify the eloquence code to work with keynote gold multimedia multilingual? and guys you will need to convert between decimal and hexidecimal. now its not that hard in a google search just type something like this... convert 0xffff to decimal. hit enter then read the result. hex numbers always seem to start with 0x, followed by the number whether it be ae or ffff or dddd. so here is the link to the code. rather than reinvent the wheel maybe this code could just be modded or added to to make keynote gold multimedia multilingual software work? the link is.

Sorry but Berkley Speech Technologies isn't around anymore. They have since been purchased by Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products in the mid 90s, who in return, were purchased by Nuance Communications, although Nuance does not have anything to do with Keynote, but Humanware just purchased the rights to Keynote.

If memory serves, Berkeley Systems were the makers of outSpoken. That was the predecessor to VoiceOver. I love the VoiceOver voices, and I'm wondering if they could be ported over to NVDA somehow? I'm not talking about the Vocalizer voices, as NVDA already works with those. But I'm referring to Fred, Bruce, Alex and the other ones that come pre-installed on the Mac.  I'm pretty sure these are the Macintalk voices but someone please correct me if I'm mistaken. Having said all that though, someday when I get really good on here I'll have to run Windows on my Mac so that I can use NVDA again. It sounds like a bunch of cool stuff has been added to that screen reader. Awhile back I heard Softvoice and it sounded awesome! I do remember Patrick Perdue's Drunk WillowPond TTS demo and it was great. All righty then, I'm off to fix me some lunch!

I'm wondering though, why doesn't they include a file to tell us how Softvoice sing and all its commands? Really like to make something out of the Colossus voice LOL. Also, does the
{{command}}
of Softvoice that allows us to put commands in work with the NVDA addon? I attempted to copy-and-paste the {{command}} thing but it didn't work.

There is a new version of the softvoice addon on Jeff's sight. It includes new sliders and combo boxes.
