Claude just wanted to run xcodebuild ... On windows. Anyone see an issue with this?
hey @DavidGoldfield quick question. what's your suggestion for getting neural voices for @NVAccess / #nvda ?
This entry was edited (1 day ago)
The Neural voice included in recent versions of Narrator are currently only available to Narrator. We'd be happy to make them available but that is up to Microsoft to open them up at this point.
With other "neural" voices, there are a couple like Sonata and Hear 2 Read on our extra voices page, depending on what you are after: github.com/nvaccess/nvda/wiki/….
I also came across this add-on the other day: github.com/TigreGotico/phoonnx… (it's not on the add-on store yet)

Aha found the culpret, it's in default.yaml. Hmm. This is really good to know then, it's not the changed phonemes, yay. I might set some of the default values more conservative or off to solve it.
Condo boards suck! If you ever get asked, or told to join such boards, run far far away! The currently elected board just accused the previous board for not attending the meetings, when it was the president that wouldn't sign anything, or miss many meetings. I have evidence, so I will share the minutes with the Facebook group... and then walk away. Because, I never missed a meeting... ever. It's so petty, considering what is happening in the world, but it still makes me sad.
Me, to claude just now, verbatim. Check the Windows sourcecode. Check the Windows sourcecode. Check the windows sourcecode for implementation. Check the Windows sourcecode.
OK, I'll make this promise: If I can't fix that darn "when" issue by the end of the evening, I'll re-upload the V16 add-on with the older pack's phonemes and upload the new ones as an packs-tuned.zip file people can try. I mostly got positive feedback, but I must handle this carefully without changing the sound of sounds too much. It's mostly good but we have some outlyers.

Well, as I tune phonemes I am watching Season 4 of Traitors UK. Guess it's a good thing it came out. Ugh I'm not a reality TV person but the challenges do fascinate me that people get through. And just how two-faced they can be, although the moment it turns into alliances and who created what drama, I tune it all out. LOL.
I haven't seen this copypasta on fedi yet. tbh it sounds like if he was in school this century he'd have been a school shooter, yikes

I live in Minneapolis but grew up in the quiet mountain town of Boone, NC, with a pathetic squat toad named Gregory Bovino. He’s grown up to be the pathetic Nazi toad in charge of ICE, and has come to my beautiful city to terrorize, torture, and murder my friends and neighbors. He is personally going door to door, so here’s some background on him and some things you can say if you see him to get under his skin.
His father used to run a bar called The Library Club in neighboring Blowing Rock. While driving drunk one night, his dad hit and killed a woman with his car. The ensuing financial problems forced him to sell his bar and ultimately caused his parents’ divorce. Greg will be sensitive about that so be sure to name drop “The Library Club.”
“You're the reason your dad got loaded and killed JANIE MAE MITCHELL with his car, resulting in your parent’s divorce. You're the reason they split up!”
"Your history teacher, GI Jones, thinks you're a pathetic Nazi punk. No wonder you failed all his classes!”
“Remember when Mast General Store banned you for sniffing shoes after people tried them on?”
"Remember when Mr. Combs found you jerking off in the Watauga High bathroom?”
"Remember eating the Pioneer wrestling team's soggy biscuit? Is it gay to eat semen off a Bojangles biscuit or was that just an 80s thing?"
"Remember when your swimsuit fell off at Trash Can falls and everyone laughed at your micro penis?”
“Does your democrat Mom say she’s ashamed of or just disappointed in you at Thanksgiving?”
Ahaha OK. Diffing the phonemes now to figure out why the word "when" is now being said more like "one." This will probably get fixed this evening before I tune anything else, that's why I can diff the phoneme files and find exactly what got over-changed to create that. Good catch, people.

@FastSM, I cannot use this on Linux. I installed everything, and when I run it wants python-espeak. The problem with python-espeak is that it requires espeak to be installed, not espeak-ng. Most distros now use espeak-ng. Am I doing something wrong on my end?
Heya Grace, you're failing to mention me on any account. But I've not tested the app on Linux. I think the issue is with the accessible_output2 package. You could try to run the app without that package for now. It might still work without it
Someone told me that Speechplayer reminds them of Mac OS Fred on Windows which I thought was amusing. I can kind of see it. But Mac OS Fred to my knowledge was diphone-based rules, not quite the same as it is here either, although perhaps the default neutral "Adam" voice could really remind people of Fred at the higher sample rate.
So it's clear to me that a lot of sharpness on consonants came from the original phoneme tuning table, once I made the tools that identify spikes and corners inside phonemes it was a lot easier to target one and reduce it or spread the bandwidths out without really altering the sound's identity, just softening it. It's just countless moments of "oh no, words like fishing now sound like shishing gosh what happened."
Yeah that's the fun part of it, but it's actually cool because the F now has some lip to it!
New NVSpeech Update where I tried to rework the phonemes so they sound less sharp especially at sample rates above 11025, and probably failed. Everyone will hate it. But let's see.

Letters like "F" sound less like "clentched teeth" and I do think personally that it has made a difference, but all of this has taught me that everyone's ears are different and someone who thinks a sound is clentched teeth another will think it's not. So Sigh.
New settings added. Graduated Coarticulation, boundary smoothing between sounds, and Enable formant trajectory rate limiting. All of these have edit fields to customize, and they are all off by default.
If you hate the new phoneme table, you can always get V15 (change the link) and still have it. I might get a revolt after this one.

I actually like how it says the word hate, I don't know why but that actually sounds good, sounds like it has a lot of lip movement in this version.
What are the safety concerns for folks like me (DEI association, nonprofit and democracy work, trans) crossing in or out of the US border?
