Hi Steve, how much are the Acopella voices from you? I tried UK Peter on my old 2.4GHZ/1GB RAM machine and it was sluggish, but I have a decent spec machine that I will swap to when I have time to install and transfer everything, so I will give them another try on that. I must say I liked Pete a lot, it was only the slight pause before speaking that I found annoying and I note from one of your prior postings that this isn't an issue on a decent machine... 


All the best,
Barry G

Hi Saqib,
Why would you want to buy Eloquence? You get it free with JAWS, Window-Eyes 
and probably Hal/Supernova too, but I am not sure about that.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve. Thanks for that. I will consider them. Is there a dealer who would 

sell the Eloquence voices or have they just being sold as part of a screen
reader such as WE7 and Jaws plus Openbook.

Hi Saqib,

No, you can't buy Eloquence from us.

Yes, Acapela works well with System Access, and is more responsive than
the
Realspeak voices.

All the best

Steve

Hi. Steve. Can Eloquence voices be purchased from you. Have you tried
Acapela voices with System Access? I am looking for an alternative voice
to
the Neospeach Engine. I had tried Real Speak Daniel but experienced a lot
of

sluggishness with SA.

Hi Yusuf,

Yes, I am the reseller.
I can't speak for the Turkish voices, but try the UK Lucy and Peter, they 
are pretty good.

All the best

Hi, Sorry to highjack this one for my own uses but took a look at the
Turkish voices last night and was pritty impressed with one of them Ipek. 
For some reason though that wasn't one of the voices I was able to
download
for demo purposes. Any idea why?

I found that with the 2 Turkish voices I did download there was a major
problem with the dotless which WE reports as 1 and the acapella voice
reports as the Turkish for 1 IE bir.

I'm not sure if this is a WE reading problem, an acapella problem or a
problem with the Turkish character set I am using. I think the latter is
unlikely though as I'm sure the dotless i appears correctly.

On the English voices, I tried Ryan but noticed a few weard
pronounciations.

But will be giving some of the other voices a go.

Am I right in assuming that Steve is the receller?
Yusuf

Hi Amro,
All the others work with JAWS out the box, so I don't see why the Arabic 
voices shouldn't.

All the best

Hi Steve,

Yes indeed. Salma and Youssef are the Arabic voices. Go to Demos, Voice
Samples, Arabic and you'll see them there. These two synthes are the
ones
used by Talks Arabic, Hal Arabic and they work with NVDA too. S&S are
not
sure if they will work with Jaws out of the box so I'd like to install
them
and see.

Cheers,
Amro

Hi Amro,

Are there Arabic voices?  I need to check on that.

Hi Steve, I managed to download the Acapela Voice Engine but I couldn't 
find

how to download one of the Arabic voices. They aren't listed with the
rest
of voices for download. Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Hi David,

You can go to http://www.acapela-group to not only hear, but
download a demo
of the Infovox speech package which includes the voices.

Conversely, if you want a free DVD of all the voices, don't
hesitate to
contact me.

Yes, the voices are compressed on mobile phones, but not on
PCs.  They are
fabulous on a computer.

All the best

Steve

I remember hearing a brief sample of the Acapela speech on
the S.V.
Infotech, probably from Steve Nutt's stand.  So Steve, is
there anywhere we
can go on the net to hear a sample of Acapela.  also, will
the voices be
compressed on the pocket as Daniel has been on the Stream?
