Surely that depends on what you want.

Hi Steve,

 

I will have to correct you there.

 

The Ivona voices are about 25 pounds per voice.  The NVDA Vocaliser voices are 
65 pounds which gives you access to all the voices, not just one voice.  So 
which is cheaper?

 

All the best

 

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Voice Synths for NVDA

 

Hi All,

There’s been some discussion on the list about using the Vocalizer voices on 
NVDA.  Yup, they’re not bad and quite realistic but for information, Vocalizer 
is not the only additional synth you can use on NVDA, Ivona have a range of 
exceptionally high quality voices including British Amy and Brian and a wide 
range of American voices including a very pleasant Sally voice.  They can be 
bought directly from the ivona website or from RNIB for considerably less than 
the vocaliser voices.  You can also get a trial license for them.  I think the 
British pack from RNIB is around £40.

 

Try www.ivona.com and have a listen to the samples.

 

Best wishes

 

Steve
