This is weird, I'm not getting the weird artifacting with Bestspeak all the time, but I was somehow able to almost consistantly reproduce it when going between the desktop and the Tweesecake window, I wonder what you guys think @Tamasg and @rommix0
that's an odd one! It might be a conflict with another add-on (sounds like you have the earcons one, haven't tested it alongside it admitedly) - it may be that the interruption gets locked mid-chunk while the audio plays, or at the very least it's causing some delay to bstShutup and invalidating the handle. I think it's interesting because for 90% of people it's working fine, now there's just that last 10% of random glitches and quirks that some are still getting here and there but I'm having a much harder time to repro in my environment. (would be interesting if you can get it back and if so, whether disabling that add-on and restarting would cause it.)
Yeah, I use Navigation sounds, so it could be that, maybe try installing that addon or something idk, its very strange, as it was also throwing a fit when in the live chat of a friend's YouTube stream, clickable then random sounds, and at one point button id icon beep *NVDA reboots itself*
So you can cut a whole extra door into the side for easier maintenance access to the toilets but it is impossible to arrange the windows so they fit the interior?

Storm Dragon pushed changes to the testing branch of the audiogame-manager project Hopefully hide some messages that were making the launch menu ... interesting.
also, a lot of games fail to download, could you eventually either remove them or host them in a more permanent place? when I try to download the super mario bros audio rendition and a lot of other games, I get error downloading <file_name>, installation can not continue and stuff like that. Is it only me? O yeah, and also stuff like danger at the wheel is giving me ShellExecuteX failed, what's that even? agm doesn't give me any more logs besides that

I’m one of just three passengers in the “Business” silent zone carriage on this SBB train. 1st class. And one of the other two is playing music out of his phone
This is the step free access for 55cm and 76cm platforms. It’s both ingenious and peculiar, as the floor needs this sort of ramp that has metal strips across it for grip
This SBB Giruno, built by Stadler… well I have mixed views
It’s a low floor high speed train, but all except 2 doors have steps still at Swiss platforms. The ramps inside over the wheels result in many odd spots and corners. Door vestibules are very cramped
It’s like the ICNG I took in Netherlands on Sunday - turning a regional train design into an InterCity results in some strange design aspects
A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas, Read by Christine Malec I had occasion to record this last Holiday season. It lingers in my memory as sweet, fun, funny, intentionally nostalgic, and successfully emotive. patreon.com/posts/childs-chris…
@cachondo Oh lovely! You make me even more humble to have dared that reading in my Canadian accent, which now sounds flat to me. Oh how his words flow like better than poetry. I too always noticed well-spoken people, and I think I unconsciously vowed as a child, to grow up to be one if I could. The, "Dark is Rising," series by Susan Cooper was set partly in Wales, and the reader who's name I've forgotten did a beautiful job with the Welsh accent, in my opinion anyway
@cachondo I was enjoying your recitation of the prose, you have a nicely measured cadance, and of course your accent is an accent to me as a Canadian, so more interesting for that.
That's kind. I was enjoying reading it! But Teams popped up and I am sure my colleagues wouldn't appreciate it. It's still on my Braille display, though. Maybe I'll record the whole thing over the holidays!
Day 17 - #adventOfIOSAccessibility. Check the traversal order of elements in your app. Sometimes the default top-left to bottom-right order might not be the most logical one. Sometimes you may consciously want to tweak the order. Other times, grouping is the answer.
@danielsnor No ty jo, tak to je pěkný volno. Já jsem chtěl i ve čtvrtek volno, na ten jeden den, se mi už nechtělo, ale máme po práci večírek. Už jsem nebyl na grilování v létě a nejít na večírek, to už by Němci blbě koukali.
"Testing has been completed of a device for carrying out irradiation tests of various radioisotopes - such as yttrium-90 - at the two pressurised heavy water reactors that make up Phase III of the Qinshan nuclear power plant in China's Zhejiang province.
There is no isotope irradiation test function module in the original design architecture of the pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR), People's Daily reported. It said this meant that the Qinshan project team needed to create a special device that could seamlessly embed the isotope irradiation test function and is compatible with the existing design of the reactor, as a core irradiation test platform. It noted medical isotopes are mostly short-half-life isotopes, which require the rapid loading and unloading of irradiation test targets during the normal operation of the reactor.
"After repeated adjustments, the project team and the design institute finally designed a prototype of the device concept," People's Daily said. The isotope irradiation test platform reportedly has the ability to automatically load and unload isotope irradiation targets online.
"During the debugging and verification process of the device, it underwent thousands of action tests, which fully verified the reliability of the device," People's Daily said. "On 3 April 2023, the National Nuclear Safety Administration officially approved Qinshan Nuclear Power to use the irradiation test device to conduct yttrium-90 irradiation tests. On 23 April, the project team continued to work for nearly 120 hours during the overhaul of Qinshan No.3 Plant, successfully completing the device installation, cold commissioning and system identification operations. On 14 December, with the first yttrium-90 target successfully unloaded from the reactor, the hot test of the device was successfully completed."
The report noted that this marks the official completion of the first commercial reactor isotope research and development platform in China.
"The platform has successfully realised the research and development and production of short-half-life medical isotopes for domestic commercial reactors, opening up a new path for the localisation of medical isotopes and the development of radioactive drugs," it added. "In the future, Qinshan Nuclear Power will continue to deepen the production of reactor-irradiated isotope irradiation, and contribute to the independent and controllable supply of medical isotopes and the expansion of diversified applications of nuclear technology in China."
China National Nuclear Corporation's Qinshan comprises seven reactors, making it China's largest nuclear power plant. Construction of Phase I of the plant - a 300 MWe pressurised water reactor (PWR) which was the first indigenously-designed Chinese nuclear power station to be built - began in 1985, with the unit entering commercial operation in 1994. Qinshan Phase II is home to four operating CNP-600 PWRs, built with a high degree of localisation. Units 1 and 2, comprising the first stage of Phase II, began operating in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Units 3 and 4 entered commercial operation in October 2010 and April 2021. Phase III consists of two 750 MWe pressurised heavy water reactors supplied by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd and commissioned in 2002 and 2003.
In April this year, CNNC announced that the Qinshan plant has started mass production at one of its PHWRs of carbon-14, which is used in medical and scientific research and in fields including agriculture and chemistry as well as in medicine and biology. Apart from very limited production in experimental reactors, it was previously imported."

Jieshuo screen reader comes in two versions: Jieshuo+ and Jieshuo Lite. The Lite version is sometimes referred to as the "International" version on the GitHub
Super exhausted. Some of you are wanting that old version back because you felt it was faster, it seams there's no pleasing everybody. Compare the two if you want, but this new thread-pool and executor dispatching speech queuing events is what we're going to stick with for the future unless you dingbats have better ideas. But try both, if you want, it'll install over your other copy. So. No thread-pool version: eurpod.com/BestSpeak-older.nvd… Thread-pool version (newer, better, but may have more delay when speaking): eurpod.com/BestSpeak.nvda-addo… This way people won't complain to me that the last version got lost, no it didn't, happy now? Hope so. Sheesh.
some people just can’t be happy with anything. Those kind of people tend to drive me the slightest bit crazy. Like seriously people, if you don’t like something, don’t use it. It’s seriously not that hard.
@simon it didn't add a lot, but super noticeable on Realtek with enhancements on. I never quite liked how hollow they made my speakers though so having them off is just not a big deal, and if I'm watching cinema content I'll briefly enable it.
It's true you can't please everyone man, but I'm glad you're trying to take the middle ground when doing this stuff. Besides it's not like the opperation is as slow as vocalizer or some synths out there, so I don't know what's the big issue, If they can make it better I think it's cool if they try, but honestly I think you're doing a good job on this! It's clear that even people that had never owned this synth love it, but as for me I'd take something that doesn't static and hurt my ear. You're doing good, don't you forget that. I see you on the AG.net forums, you do some good work if I do say so myself.
@rommix0 Changed manifest to also have a link to your repo in the description so others might be discovering it from there :D Amazing work on this. Even though you aren't from "The blind community" as it's called, the fact that you worked with us after so many discovered the engine is nothing short of remarkable, and building that Speak tool even if the initial goal was to help with musician work. That was really half my motivation for the project because I saw how often you kept updating it and filling in more requests people had asked for. If you do end up working on any other older software synth like that we can open source a minimal UX +dll with, I look forward to also potentially adapting it if I can to work with NVDA.
I wonder what the speak-window does different since it doesn't seem to have audio issues? would disguarding the NVDA-addon and only having sapi5 bestSpeak be easier? With the addon, people will complain about it breaking every year or so whereas sapi5 should just work. "ini" file could be used to adjust advanced settings like inflection and headsize?
co třeba? Se pochlub ať vím o co přicházím
