Well, when I tryed to use the soft voice it was, well, soft, so it wasn't speaking. Hahah. But really it is like that.

Hi. I am using SoftVoice in NVDA. Who created that NVDA add-on? I would like to contact them. Thanks.

Even with no inflection Eloquence just doesn't sing as well as Dectalk. I rather gave up on it. I still have the tutorial I downloaded and edited.

Did you have any luck making dectalk singing? I downloaded manual from grossgang.com website but no luck I cannot understand it and also I don't understand how to use dectalk speak window. Each time I run the demo en.exe file it starts playing the demo file for dectalk. What can I do?

I'm not geeky enough to make Dectalk sing.

In the group "talking" I gave some guidelines. You can request to be invited, and a moderator, most likely Remi, will need to accept you.

Hello guys,
I like Espeak's default variant. This is what I understand the best, especially when it comes to Polish or English. I often use braille for contents in foreign languages, but Malcolm and Petra sound pleasant enough in my view. As for Russian, I don't learn this language, but once I needed a voice for reading song lyrics and I used Jurij.

Oh my god Yuri has sooo lots of problems especially on the iOs version. I mean the enhanced one. I started to use speech player in eSpeak but haven't noticed any differences between it and eSpeak NG.

There's a difference, or at least, on the hungarian side. Espeak Max starts to give creaking and clicking sound above 20 speed, but seems speechplayer Edward doesn't, fortunately.

Όταν θα κοιτάς την θάλασσα
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα βλέπεις εμένα
Και τα μάτια σου θα ‘ναι θλιμμένα
Όταν θα ξυπνάς στον ύπνο σου
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα σκέφτεσαι εμένα
Και θα νιώθεις μεγάλο κενό

I mean, above 20 with rate boost.

Και τα μάτια σου θα ‘ναι θλιμμένα
Όταν θα ξυπνάς στον ύπνο σου
Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα σκέφτεσαι εμένα
Και θα νιώθεις μεγάλο κενό

There are also new espeak voices with speech player, and some have been modified.

#73

To my mind, The rate boost distorts the voice too much.

#74 Edited

Or, more preciselly, when the sonic audio library comes in use, to allow higher rates than 450 wpm.

#75

Yes, but it does this on 100 as well. I mean, with normal speech rate, you can boost it up to 85 and then it starts to
distort.
--Cytat (Seva):
Ah ok ahaha!
I feel that it is already fast enough on 100 without rate boost! :D

For me, all is fine until 99. Once at 100, sonic comes in, and then it sounds all bad.

#78

I agree actually.

Oh I tried it and it's really cool!
By the way have you tried new voices with echo in eSpeak? That's hilarious!
Really!
So lots of reverb!
--Cytat (hozosch):
Yeah, the default voice sucks. If you want to try my very smooth sounding variant I created, please
let me know. I use it all the time, but not in elten though.
