Hi, Guys,
Me again, with my experiments.
For some time now, I have been trying to make NVDA sound like Jaws, as I am so
used to the Jaws voice. NVDA is free, very simple to use, very effective and
can even speak Afrikaans!
This weekend, I succeeded. Unfortunately, it will only work for 60 days, as I
installed Zoomtext, which only gives me 60 days trial. But, when I disable
Zoomtext [there is a "disable Zoomtext" choice on it's Edit menu] I can start
up nvda, go to its preferences, choose Sappi 4, and then choose any Jaws voice.
And NVDA sounds real good that way!
Unfortunately, when I tried to re-install Zoomtext again after I had
uninstalled it, leaving it's synths behind, it told me it had expired, so I
will now have to use another computer. And I already know that, when it
expires after 60 days, gone will be my Jaws voice on NVDA.
The speech synthesizer Zoomtext use [amongst some others]is called "IBM
ViaVoice". I tried to find a Free version of it on the Internet, but when I
click on the "Free" [or any TTS, for that matter] it doesn't allow me to go
further.
Any ideas from your sides?
Kind regards,
Deon
