[nvda] Re: What Are you interested in?

Hi Christopher,
I am thinking of that, perhaps sometime in the future that can be done, but as far as I am aware, IBM Viavoice (for windows) is not free to redistribute?

Ah! That would be great, as indeed Viavoice does have similar voices to
Eloquence. How about you distribute ViaVoice with the NVDA package? Just
a thought.

Hi Christopher,

Currently NVDA supports IBM Viavoice, which (as far as I am aware) is
exactly the same voice as ETI Eloquence. However, I understand that some
people may have Eloquence instead of Viavoice, so I guess it would be
good
to write a driver for it.

I myself do not own a copy of ETI Eloquence so I have no idea bout its
API.

It should be pretty easy for anyone to write a driver for it, just follow
how I did it with IBM viavoice (synthDriverHandler/viavoice.py).
