Adventní countdown dnes doběhl, Stromečkovice jsou za rohem, takže nám nezbývá, než vám popřát pěkné Vánoce, pod jedli hodně investičních paměťových modulů a do nového roku rychlé internetové připojení. Slibujeme, že i příští rok budeme u nás na OSCLOUD makat na lepším a svobodnějším pracovním i zábavním prostředí na internetu!
Roll with It Typing, my self-voicing accessible browser-based app with @Marconius , is two days old. Marco has fixed the accuracy of typing stats, added controls for how the practice is spoken, and created a field where you can paste up to 36 lines of your own and type from that. Custom typing practice is new to the accessible typing coach space: you won't get this from any other guide marconius.com/fun/rollWithIt/

China cracked the US ‘super code’ that controls most power grids in the world. Breakthrough could shake-up global tech markets with nations able to run their own grids and break away from US dominance. 🎉
In addition to achieving an average computational efficiency that surpasses leading American solvers by 14 per cent, Tianquan’s computational error is also 23 per cent lower than that of US solvers and the computational stability is 21 per cent superior.

Oh for fuck sakes! Don't fucking ask me a question if you aren't interested in the response and going to ignore after. I don't have the patience for games. My give a damnhas fled to another planet and right now I don't think it has plans to return
Blah. Debugging code at midnight was still not my idea of vacation. Sigh. I just cannot relax and not do computer-related work, without some type of work I'm just nothing.
@FreakyFwoof Here they worked immediately. But for some people a restart was necessary. And have you placed them, by default of course, in C:\TTS and applied both reg files?
Actually no. The latest Windows 11 dev release only provides these two US English HD voices. But this seems to be the beginning, like the previous high-quality voices. Microsoft may well extend this so-called HD upgrade to other voices in the near future. At this time we just have access to these two offline HD voices, and even these haven't been released to the official channel. The rest are not HD though they are high-quality. @JamminJerry
@JamminJerry I was thinking you could probably combine the 32/64 registry files into one, less work if people need to modify. A single find & replace gets both jobs done, you know?
@JamminJerry will be curious how people find lag on these voices. At this point it's probably a more hopeful project for me than this Mindmaker voice, especially as that one has some very oddities in pronouncing things wrong (like "Tim" as "time", "gemini as Gemeeni" and such) - so I'd imagine, yeah, this voice will do better. Ha.
@JamminJerry So, I installed 32-bit and 64-bit adapters, downloaded Ava and Andrew, stuck them in c:\tts, ran the reg files, but I only seem to have the online voices. Am I missing something obvious?
@Tamasg Hmm. It's quite responsive over here on my machine with a great CPU and lots of RAM. But it's definitely a bit laggier than Microsoft non-HD voices. And its pronunciation is great. @JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof
@BorrisInABox @JamminJerry That was me for a while. I only ran the 64 bit at first, then realised I should fix that. Try restarting NVDA if it still doesn't pick up. It eventually did for me.
@JamminJerry Install both, no unless you pick a diffrerent location, but run both reg files, yes. Alpha will pick up on 64, standard will pick up on 32.
@BorrisInABox You can open the installer and uncheck "Enable Microsoft Edge online voices" to get rid of the online voices. The Close button applies any settings, so no need to uninstall and reinstall. You should have at least silent spots where NVDA expects Andrew and Ava, even if the voice data was extracted to the wrong location. Is this not the case for you? You can also press Alt+DownArrow to open the list of voices without actually changing them. @FreakyFwoof @JamminJerry @amir
Well, this can be extended even further if you are into experiments - LOL! There's a newer, non-official installer of NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter with Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech updated to 1.46.0. Download from Google Drive - link at the end. Delete old versions of NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter and install the new one. Now Ava and Andrew become more HD-like. And now you can switch between HD and regular voice versions by editing the EnableHDVoice=yes (EnableHDVoice=no) parameter in the 1033.INI file in the voice folder. drive.google.com/drive/folders…
So, anyone tried this on arm yet? My potentially fastest Windows machine right now is an arm virtual machine running on a Macbook M4. There's an arm adapter, but I don't know how that works. Haven't attempted it yet myself.
@JamminJerry Funny thing, Ava on my machine is lower pitched even though it's set to 50, and sounds quite a bit different than in your recording. Strange times.
@JamminJerry I'm beginning to wonder whether it's actually working properly. Both Andrew and Ava are in my case, Ivona voices, so though the name says one thing, the voice is another, which was already installed on my system.
@JamminJerry I think it's not using that voice at all, like I say. It's using some other voice on the system already, and claiming it's Andrew or Ava. I can't prove it apart from on my own system, but compare the sound of the voices you have, to things already on your system.
