Ah I see what you mean now, yes, some things seem to get it a bit muddled up. I don't know enough about this sort of thing to know if the problem is the phonemes or the rules for using them, but I'd suggest a bit of both. It has that nasal sound of Eloquence, which I find very hard to understand in any case, though the phonemes are better in that synth.

Another thing I've noticed,

When K and J are right next to each other,e.g., the end of one word
and the beginning of the next, speechplayer says both consonants like
the J. For instance, "link Janice to dropbox." sounds more like "Linkj
Janice to Dropbox." There are two obvious J sounds there. No other
consonant combos seem to do this.

Thanks much.

Yeah I agree with that. Also some words e.g., google sounds to me like
booble, cleaner like pleaner, comma like pomma, count like pount, etc.
This just confuses me, since english is not my native language.

Hi, well that has fixed it on both counts I think. we can now get down to

trying to figure out the things it says weirdly.
If you ask it  to say 55, it seems to say fifty fime.

At least to my ears and not really understanding the  sliders , I am
loathe to alter things too much.

Anyway, I'm off to install it on the intel machines to see how that
works. This is the amd machine.

Hi all,

Please find a new build of nvSpeechPlayer (2014.6.2) here:
https://bitbucket.org/nvaccess/speechplayer/downloads/nvSpeechPlayer_2014.6.2.nvda-addon

Builds are now definitely compiling with out SSE2, so should run fine on

AMD chips on XP. Also nvSpeechPlayer now uses nvwave for audio output
and no longer has any of its own code for this. This should improve
performance significantly on XP, and may also improve things on 7/8 if
people had noticed problems in the past.

Please test and let me know how it goes.

Thanks
Mick
