Updated eurpod.com/synths/NVSpeechSapi…, V2 kept around for legacy, but this supports the new pack-level engine settings as well as updated the packs themselves.
Enjoy a little project I've been vibe coding with Claude. I call it Escape the City. I've got a lot more things to add/update/fix/unbreak. l-works.net/escape/
Damn 200K, nice. I keep wondering how far to push web agames. I love being platform agnostic, but some things like audio are a bit limiting. Still it's been so fun to plan

Ah, yeah that's what I thought. It seemed like a length thing, and maybe more combat in higher difficulties, although that may have just been random. Definitely would be interested to see what you do with this thing.
Signal head Meredith Whittaker has responded to concerns about the encrypted messaging app’s use of Amazon Web Services, saying “there isn’t really another choice.”
The so-called “Magnificent Seven” have gone from stock-market leaders to stock-market laggards. But amid the most persistent bout of underperformance …
Wieso wird im Rahmen der #DiDay Bewegung eigentlich ständig @signalapp empfohlen? Wo laufen denn die Server von denen? Laut Internet auch in den USA auf Amazon, Google und Co…
Oder habe ich etwas übersehen?
UPDATE: Weil mein Post offensichtlich von Fans als Kritik an Signal verstanden wird: meine Frage war, ob ich etwas übersehen habe im Sinn von „Signal Server sind nicht nur bei US-Anbietern gehostet“. Ich hätte gerne Digitale Souveränität mit Signal, nicht einem x-ten anderen System.
Meine Kritik richtet sich an diejenigen, die von digitaler Souveränität reden, und dann doch wieder etwas empfehlen, was dem Cloud Act oder der Kontrolle Trumps (Kill Switch) unterliegt.
Es braucht, will man viele Menschen erreichen, um Whatsapp zu verlassen, einen Messenger, der für Otto-Normal-User, wenig technikaffin, eine für diese Klientel einfache, kostengünstige und größtenteils sichere Alternative und die ist zur Zeit Signal!
Kein Mensch wird sich eine selbstgehostete xy-Alternative überhaupt nur ansehen oder 6 € für das aufgekaufte Threema investieren.
@HdE DeltaChat is free, offers super easy onboarding, the UI is good, it is even based on Signal client, it is decentralized, there are servers all over the world and can be selfhosted, it is super cheap to run, requires low resources
Don't worry about the few contals on the picture. Many do not want to go away from Whatsapp but the ones I can convince are more willing to change to Delta/Artanchat than to Threema. In addition, I find it as better than when my smartphone is constantly lit. Thanks also for link even if necessary.

I've found another new thing I can't get enough of. They're pizza rolls, accept they're triangular and filled with things you'd put on nachos. meat beans cheese. They're sooooooo good!
At the top of the hour, @Liz will be live with the return of FullCircle, and tonight it's the Australia day show. So tune in, and interact with the show. HKCRadio.com
I mean... most everyone's got a number eventually. But I suspect they assume a lot fewer zeroes than anyone who has made that their lifelong project would accept...
Do it, gotta increase shareholder value somehow! Think about it, there's so much revenue to be made, just insert an advert into the headers of every 10th request.
I am hoping, assuming I can do it properly, to tinker with the IDL/ACF so that we can still get this functionality but allow multiple instances to be present if people need this. If people tell me not to though, then I'll keep it as is.
@Bri Heh, I wasn't sure but ultimately changed it to allow it just because all the other backends do so it seemed a bit inconsistent to disallow that for one backend. Even if backends are given a loooooot of freedom in what they can and can't do
You know, I was kind of surprised but just for the hell of it, I gave Claude Prism and went OK, implement this into a cpp project I'm working on and it just figured it out. Was kinda cool. I checked it out after it was done and yep, it did it right
I don't even think it used the docs lol. For the record, if you're curious: // Prism state #ifdef USE_PRISM static PrismContext* g_prismCtx = nullptr; static PrismBackend* g_prismBackend = nullptr; #endif
and in the init funcs: // Initialize Prism for screen reader support #ifdef USE_PRISM bool InitPrism(HWND hwnd) { PrismConfig cfg = prism_config_init(); cfg.hwnd = hwnd;
g_prismCtx = prism_init(&cfg); if (!g_prismCtx) { return false; }
g_prismBackend = prism_registry_acquire_best(g_prismCtx); if (!g_prismBackend) { return false; }
@Bri That code was almost right. You need to check if the error code is specifically PRISM_ERROR_ALREADY_INITIALIZED and ignore it; acquire/acquire_best may return an initialized one, so that shouldn't be a fatal error. Also, since it passed in the window handle, you can use the UIA backend
@Bri So... Idk what page I was viewing before but yeah, that's apparently a win 10 thing. I'm amazed you got it to build for windows 7. I can't target it so just target win 10 and move on.
@Bri Hey, it's not junk. :D And yes, it is, but apparently it loads and gets to the point of initializing backends? So libs must exist on that system already. OneCore is bypassed already (I can use ApiInformation::IsTypePresent for that). UIA I think might have a workaround, I'm looking
@Bri I mean fair. Most accessibility interfaces are lik that though: full of hacks instead of "well maybe we should build this from the ground up to be robust"
@Bri Uh... I... Think that was either MSAA or IAccessible2? Windows supports all three of them. I actually think it also supports IAccessible. So four different interfaces... No wonder it's not the best...
@Bri You have me curious now. Lmfaooo. Though the code to do it is going to be painful. I had to do a bunch of annoying shit ot get UIA to actually be safe enough for me to be comfortable with it
@Bri I had to get atomics, and then I had to get closing all the handles right which lead me to std::stop_callback (which I didn't even know existed)... So so much fun!
@Bri Has it? I could have sworn when it was new it didn't, but it might have just used direct speech controllers. NVDA and UIA weren't behaving too nicely together yet.
@Bri As for building for win7, as long as you can get the tools installed, cmake actually has some kind of platform toolset argument you can ultimately pass doesn't it? Or is it feeding ninja? Unsure if vcvars has an argument for that but it might.
@Bri The problem will even getting it to build for win 7. I don't have a toolchain capable of targetting it. I guess I could see if MS still offers the Windows XP compilers but Idk how to get MSVC's x64_x86 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS to switch to those compilers. And then I need to figure out all the libraries onecore.lib replaces and test for onecore.lib or use the individual ones
@Bri Did the docs have a vaguely relevant emoji prepended before the title of each section? That's like 50% of how I score good docs now. As in, if those exist, knock off 50 percent no matter what else I find lol.
Well, Prism has gotten some great new functionality! I think the biggest is that Prism can now act in place for the NVDA controller client! It does not need the DLL present to communicate with NVDA since it performs the internal RPC binding automatically. The current downside to this is that there may only be one NVDA backend active at any given time, which is abnormal and inconsistent with all the other backends. If you currently try to do this, it will (safely) overwrite the existing one.
@Bri No, it doesn't. The controller client is (L)GPL license, and I have done everything I can to comply with it. Even if the (L)GPL code is combined into the larger prism.dll library, I don't see how I could possibly be violating it given that the project is entirely open source and so complying with the "allow people to modify/relink" thing is from what I know automatically satisfied. I'm not sure how else to comply other than what I've already done.
@x0 @Bri I honestly don't know. Right now I force dynamic linking unless yoru building for Emscripten. For the problems that might create, I keep finding conflicting interpretations about those problems all over the place. Which for something like the LGPL is never a good sign. Some people say it's a problem, others say that that's just a widely misunderstood clause. I really don't like the ambiguity
@x0 @Bri Hence why I force dynamic linking. If you patch CMakeLists then yes it technically can support it. I just would love for an expert in the field to tell me what would be an "official" interpretation because I really don't like the ambiguity and confusion/misunderstandings around that
@x0 @Bri And to make this even more confusing, you're not really using executable code from NVDA, you're just implementing their interface. And the copyright situation of interfaces is even more unclear, especially with all the different countries involved.
The easiest thing to do would probably be to do a git blame on the ACF file and get an explicit okay from everybody involved in its implementation. There can't be that many of these people.
@miki @x0 @Bri I just wish the damn license was cleare or 17 U.S.C. 102(b) clearly applied to interfaces. APIs and machine-generated code should never be copyrightable IMO. And And it's not as if I could just handwrite the implementation either, because MSRPC is completely undocumented from what I know as to what midl does.
@miki @Bri Would NVAccess actually give a shit? As the organization that owns the code, though I don't know what their contribution agreement is like, they would have the ultimate authority to say I don't care, you're not flagrantly violating it so go ahead yeah?
The only thing I wish FastSM could do, which I currently don't see is to filter boosts from home timeline. Some folks boost endless amounts of things I don't necessarily hold interest with. I don't think TWBlue can do this either, but TweeseCake can. FastSM takes less ram than both of the aforementioned two though.
Tomorrow's my big development talk y'all, I'm gonna stay real quiet and hunker down. Nervous as hell, I hate dev talks. So. No speech player updates, let's give language packs time to change a bit. I already see a few improvements coming, can't say what, but yeah, this will keep evolving the more folks try it and are honest. We now restored the UK English sound in this pack very close to the sound it had in the original IPA rules, which were much smaller and sparce in comparison, but I understand how we were contaminating phonemes with each other, which was the huge huge downside before I moved things into the frontend. Honestly, building that frontend was the best decision I made early. AI would have kept on piling in Python code, specific language variables, and stich me a 300 kilobyte Python file by the end. No no. We are not doing that. It's funny how real work changes you. I used to be a spaghetti-code type guy, all day I'd just throw my code in a single file. Today I shutter at the idea of zero abstraction. If it's not modularized well, it's not worth reading as code, period, unless it's clean small code. Yes I'm that much of a snob. Gosh. AI will happily spaghetti all day, unless you're Google Gemini, which can (sometimes) do better at helping you abstract it, but you are still the architect, if you don't know coding fundementals, it's hard to use AI to code something not considered "AI slop."
good luck in your dev talk mate. Seriously! I love the new add-on. I still can't find the slider you mentioned though to make the frame sliders appear again. I'm looking in the actual speech settings within NVDA.
estava aqui a olhar para a roupa da Dina da Coelha, a unica explicação é ela não ter autorização para sair de casa desde 1986, e o André ter a televisão sempre a passar episodios da tv rural seguidos daquele programma do Herman onde ele cantava quanto mais me bates mais eu gosto de ti, e episodios da eurovisão anteriores a 1974
“Europe is a regulatory morass that is built on bureaucracy, and the layering and layering of rules that constrain economic activity.”
Scott Bessant, US Treasury Secretary
To which Europeans say:

These places are global bywords for the poisoning of people and nature when you have no regulatory oversight of business and you prioritise ‘economic activity’ at all costs over health and safety.
Everyone is going to Threads. My professional community - iOS developers, AI researchers, accessibility advocates - they're all there. I'm completely locked out, missing networking opportunities and professional conversations. This is disability discrimination. I cannot access Threads without assistive technology, and their systems automatically suspend me for using it. ADA compliance issue.
I've noticed that some client, maybe FastSM? Is doing this thing where it will add you to a thread even if you just boosted a post in it, not actually replied, and I'm not sure yet if I like it or find it annoying, maybe a bit of both?
Phewphsh! We had a frying on this instance that lasted about 20 minutes. With the help of Gemini, we're back and successfully updated to 4.6.0-alpha.3+glitch.
Remember "don't print this email" in signatures that was a bit cringe? It doesn't feel that cringe anymore in retrospect. I'm doing an experiment now with this new email signature :D Anyone doing something similar? Could it catch on?
edit: BTW please absolutely steal/modify this idea if you want!
This is a test of using Fast-SM with our J-Say technology. This application is quite timely, because I would like to demonstrate to somebody how we can use the programme with bluesky. He has always wanted to use Bluesky and now he has an ideal opportunity of doing so. Dragon is working exceptionally well in this application, and I can easily correct errors such as the name of the social media network that I have just described. It treated the name of the social network as two separate words with no capital letter, so I had to put that right. There was absolutely no problem in doing so and there is no deterioration in terms of responsiveness on the computer while we are using Fast-SM with Dragon and JAWS. I am even able to proof read the post that I have just dictated with no difficulty. All good stuff!
I'm currently using js-sequence-diagrams[1], which looks like it has similar syntax as PlantUML.
Putting the code/text representation of the diagram feels like it'd be helpful for a small diagram, but maybe too much to keep in ones head for a larger one?
First of all, let me tell you something: we appreciate every move like this. You know, every blind person struggles. They may tell you it's fine, we're good, someone will even say "I'm proud to be blind" (sic!), but… we struggle. And if a person comes and tells like: "I'm posting a diagram, I want it to be seen by my blind readers" — woosh, like a wave of warm air in a cold winter street. Why am I saying this? Because it's not even better than nothing, it's quite enough for a technically or scientifically inclined person to decipher what you're saying. I'm not proficient in this at all (JS-Sequence-Diagrams looks also good, also there's Mermaid supported by GitHub, I think) but if I need or want it, I'll read the docs and cope with it. Or… drop you a message and ask for help 😊 Anyway, thank you so much. It's really heartwarming.
@menelion Aww thank you André. ❤️ I'm touched, and not really sure how to respond!
I guess I'll just say that I want to live in the world where we all look out for each other's needs, and where we can ask each other for accommodations or help when we need to. Where we all get those warm breezes when we're cold :)
I have a blind friend studying data science, he says he found it very useful. I know plenty of blind folks, one internationally known mathematician among them, who use LaTex, for example, to read and write maths. Not the simplest thing in the world, but it works. I believe, it's the same with PlantUml/Mermaid/solutions alike.
@menelion if we’re going down the pasting source path, then you might like Mermaid.js: the syntax is most intuitive and matches what you described in the post.
I think I'm going to give PlantUML a shot for this, since it seems to have a few more features than Mermaid, and should work well with my static site generator set up.
I'll write a blog post about it and report back in a little while :D
Uruguay's electricity grid going 100% renewable in just five years proves how quick and easy the transition can be, and therefore how the failure of other countries to do the same is inexcusable
SpeechPlayer update: Huge one. This update removes all the "frame:" settings from the voice dialog. If you liked them, toggle " exposeExtraParams = False " to true in the driver's file. These are fun settings to play with and make it squeak in weird ways, but also, it's 47 sliders, and this way we only add the 16 for language settings. - new: settings no longer say "langpack:" but have human understandable names. This should make it easier to know what does what. - New: Croatian language. If Croatian sounds off, please suggest fixes to HR.YAML - new: Engine setting, segmentBoundarySkipVowelToLiquid That new setting only affects the boundary gap we insert when stitching two separate chunks (two separate “say” calls / queue items). - new setting: semivowelOffglideScale. Useful where you want the glide to join better with the vowel in your language, test with different values (default is 1.) Added in language editor only. - Fixed: The driver works on NVDA 2026.1 again, fixed to set argtypes and restype right after initialization for Espeak phonemizer. - Language updates to Portuguese (thanks @clv1), Polish (thank you @patricus). English glides should be less noticeable and more smooth. eurpod.com/synths/nvSpeechPlay…
Thanks. I couldn't open the pack root after upgrading, because indentation was wrong in pt-br.yaml from line 40 onwards. I fixed the indentation, and it opened normally.
ok yes, the v6 add-on is updated with this fix, thanks for noticing it, that's what I get by hand-editing the field at the time xD will be more careful. Yeah, the phoneme editor bails when it can't parse the indentations in the file, the driver is more leaniant on this and allows it in technicality but a more strict YAML parser will throw a fit. I'm getting used it to it now though, 4 indents for the outer blocks and 6 for the various replacements.
Also, although the alternative schwa is in the phonemes list, and the mapping is present for it to be added before r, it sounds as if it wasn't being inserted there. Can you double check it please? For example: when I command the editor to speak "tra", the IPA output is trˈa. when I mark the input is IPA checkbox and change it to tᵊrˈa, the sound is clearly other.
@spacepup ahaha, a setting for the settings? What an idea! :D Ironic though in a way. I thought of it but it's tricky because settings are enumerated when the driver loads, so like, we can't magically make checkboxes appear in NVDA's panel, they're precalculated. So while I could, they wouldn't show up until the person reloads the driver again, and then I'm sure some people might say "there's a bug!" xD
oh, i understand. Setting for the settings? What was i thinking, I must be just waking up. Also i noticed en-ca? Canadian english, perhapse? Also would it ruin the sound if i update some broken sounding phonemes with my own formants i calculated in praat?
@spacepup oh yeah. I was scared to add en-ca into the language list. People say ESpeak's Canadian is already horrendous, so I just don't know if we could ever make it sound good. I didn't want to anger the Canadians over there, even if they are hard to do so, best not test it. :D
@spacepup lol I always tell people to experiment, if you can send me your packs folder so I can also hear it and judge how it sounds better, well, even nicer. LOL. That's why I made this pack system, it makes it very easy to zip up the packs folder and just send it as a small file, or just like some people here have, tell me what value they changed to what and how it made it sound for them, then I usually will fold it into the main pack if it's really a nicer sound. That's what I'd really like from this, a community-driven sound. But it'll take time, which is why I built the phoneme editor. Speaking of which, I have to update it with the new values we added to the engine, gosh. Ah well, not hard.
@spacepup I've considered updating in the phoneme editor to add brackets next to the values with a one to two wrod explanation of what the value does to the sound, so they can change them even more easily. Things like: "Widens nasals" or "strengthens coupling with the Nasal" could really help people know, oh, I need to adjust this to get that.
@spacepup oh gosh I know, especially in a formant synth, I think we do have a good sound for it now in foreign languages but it'll get better. Once someone mentioned it was sounding more like a Z though that could actually clue me in on which way to tune it to make it slightly rolled. I definitely know ESpeak didn't get that one right until like the mid-2000s or later.
@spacepup oh actually good question, but yeah, it was in the Espeak-NG side days I first spotted it. I don't know if they had it in original Espeak though, probably not.
🇺🇸 We were asked for this in the past, and now it was done: our Liberapay account has been revived, find it at liberapay.com/IzzyOnDroid/
As @Liberapay has no option to upload a project avatar (or I haven't found it), and we're not using any of the hard-coded services, I hope you forgive us keeping my personal one in there for now. Should a change become possible, we'll of course update accordingly!
The IzzyOnDroid team maintains the repository for F/LOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) Android apps launched by Izzy in 2015/2016, which has since become quite well-known …
🇩🇪 Wir wurden in der Vergangenheit danach gefragt, und jetzt ist es soweit: unser Liberapay Account wurde wiederbelebt, und ist (nach wie vor) unter liberapay.com/IzzyOnDroid/ zu finden.
Da Liberapay leider keine Option bietet, ein Projekt-Avatar hochzuladen (oder ich habe es nur nicht gefunden), und wir keinen der dafür hinterlegten Services nutzen, hoffen wir Ihr vergebt uns, das derweil mein eigener dort zu sehen ist. Sobald möglich, werden wir das anpassen!

@donno Not before the drop-down shows Codeberg, sorry – as I wrote, "we're not using any of the hard-coded services" – except for Mastodon, and look what the avatar here is (yes, when I started this account, it was still "only me" – but now it's my account incl. personal things, while IzzyOnDroid is a team…)
Kuuntelen tosi vähän musiikkia paristakin syystä, mutta joskus lenkillä Vorssan Suvi-iltaan kasattu soittolista auttaa ryytyneenä jaksamaan. Listalla on 99 % uudempaa tradia ja bluegrassia eli lajeja, joita kestän ylipäätään kuunnella, mutta seassa on jokunen nostalgianumero ja raitoja, joiden bpm sopii omaan kadenssiin erityisen hyvin.
Tänään tipahti peräkkäin Les Misin Do You Hear the People Sing ja perään Elina Salo alkoi vetää Kolmea iloista rosvoa :’-D
Lapseton kuuntelee todellakin kotimaista lastenmusiikkia, koska täällä tehdään järkyttävän hyvää lastenmusiikkia. Vaikka joku Freija, Mutaveijarit, Mimmien fantastisen kaoottinen sovitus vanhasta Hirsilaulusta tai Lastenmusiikkiorkesteri Ammuun kaunis versio Kimalaisten kehtolaulusta, jota en saa kuunnella liian usein, koska jokin Mannerin tekstin tässä versiossa ravistelee aivan liikaa mun olematonta sieluani.
Very excited to see #Droidify implement the #IzzyOnDroid download statistics!
This means 2 out of the top 3 #FDroid clients now show download statistics for apps downloaded from IzzyOnDroid. Hopefully this convinces more repositories to adopt this!
The part I love most is the different directions Droidify and Neo Store took it. Droid-ify went for simple, just showing the total amount of downloads, while Neo Store went for detailed graph.
@donno Hopefully we can convince them to adopt the system, I think it would be great for users to have general popularity info for apps. We purposefully kept the system extremely simple to make adoption easy :)
@TheJnx I will be honest, my main reaction to this is that I am quite disappointed when people tell others about an issue they found but not actually tell the developer about it so it can be fixed: github.com/Droid-ify/client/is…
Besides that, I took a short look at the code and sha256 is used for the file integrity itself: github.com/Droid-ify/client/bl….
MD5 is only used to compare the signature with the installed one which Android itself would block if a false positive would occur: github.com/Droid-ify/client/bl…
So I don't really see the issue to be honest. The only possible risk is if you disable Android's signature verification with XPosed modules (which would be a horrible idea) and happen to get the one signature that somehow would match in MD5. But both IzzyOnDroid and F-Droid already use an allowlist of signatures per app, so this would already be blocked serverside there.
Lacking index-v2 is not a security risk at all but would be nice for faster update checks.
@TheJnx Obtainium on the other hand is often used to get APKs directly from developers with no malware scan or anything. So if a dev gets their system infected by malware and because of that uploads a build with malware, you will just instantly get that and infect your device, there is no party in between to scan or rebuild the app from source.
Personally, I find "dev gets their system infected by malware" a much more likely scenario, which is why I don't understand Obtainium as "more secure".
@TheJnx@bonito.cafe @SylvieLorxu@chaos.social Well yes I agree that Droid-ify does not have Index V2 or diffing but I don't see how thats a security issue. And the 3 point of it "uses a outdated signature algorithm".
for that reason I will continue to say that either Github or Codeberg, any other source, as such is for more experienced people, Obtainium is obviously safe (as far as it goes), allows more than 10 sources from which to download apps, but of course, it all depends on using reliable sources, review the code, use an antivirus (although I doubt the quality of these), that the repository has been reported in that case, etc.
I must admit that I have not stopped using Izzyondroid, only for one app (since the versions there seem to me more stable) but of course, Izzyondroid seems to me that unlike F-Droid allows a wider catalog of apps, but of course, for everything I use Obtainium itself because it allows me to save all those apps and apks that could be scattered on my device
