[blindza] Re: NVDA with JAWS voice...

Not really sure since I have jaws installed full time on all my machines, so
I can in the synthesizer dialogue of NVDA change over to eloquence, but to
be honest, I don't bother.

What about if you install the 40 minute demo version of jaws - just not sure
if the voices/synthesizer will work past 40 minutes.

Alternatively, install something else free like the thunder screenreader,
from screenreader.net since while it's not quite jaws voice, it's closer
than eSpeak, and you should also be able to select that synthesizer in the
options.

Stay well

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
