I have tried a lot of the human sounding voices, but I still come back to Eloquence. ----- Original Message ----- From: net bat66 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, June 25, 2018 12:29 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Good ole' Eloquence i dropped eloquence a long time ago. it makes me nervus and i couldn't stay on the computer for more then a hour at a time. no such problem with the human sounding voices. i don't need or want to listen to the voices at 400 words per second. grin. people don't talk this way and my computer doesn't either. -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Monday, June 25, 2018 9:10 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Good ole' Eloquence Yeah, that does make some sense. I always kind of wondered why people really bothered with this nowadays unless they were doing serious audio processing, but I can now see that in some cases it's a sensible solution. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of net bat66 Sent: June 25, 2018 12:06 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Good ole' Eloquence the computer might run faster if you are useing a dedicated plug in e p c i sound card instead of the onboard one. when you do this the sound card does all the sound processing not the computers c p u. -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Monday, June 25, 2018 6:32 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Good ole' Eloquence Hey guys. After some thought, I decided to switch my primary synthesiser back to Eloquence. I must say, that JAWS is now acting a lot more like the robust and response screen-reader I would expect on such a relatively fast machine. I spent the past year listening to a nice, mannered, human-sounding voice, but wondering why the devil my computer was being just as slow and clunky at times as my XP machine was. Well, now I have the answer. Duh. These Vocalizer voices are resource-intensive and slow the machine down. Anybody else noticed this? I guess it's a foregone conclusion, but I just assumed my machine would be able to handle it well. I think it'd be ok for reading, but for all practical purposes, well, the trade in favour of performance is an obvious no-brainer. So, what synths does everyone use here, anyway? What are your thoughts on all the software synths out there nowadays? Curiosity question. Also, Eloquence - y'know, it's kind of good to have the old man back.
