Hi,

I won't get into a screen reader war but I use nothing else. it's light fast and just works fully portable no need to install any other drivers like some other other screen readers that are so called portable. I will leave it at that, the sinth dose take a bit of getting used to but if you persevere it is worth it. I use vocaliser and these voices are not free. but the price is well worth the money, you can also take these vocaliser voices on a usb stick with your screen reader.

Hi Mike, Trace and all,

I am currently having massive problems with Window eyes a product I've had
and enjoyed using for many years and very disappointed with both the product
performance and their support too.
After reading some of the stuff you guys have said about N V D A, this
sounds a great alternative, would you guys recommend   it as a better and
mor stable option?

All comments greatly appreciated,

Thanks,


Kindest Regards

Hi Trace.

When we spoke yesterday, I told you that you can purchase the high quality
Vocalizer voices for NVDA from Steve Nutt of Computer Room Services.  Why
don't you give him a call, he'll be able to assist you in installing said
voices so you can try them out before spending your money, however the price

is £65 for all voices in all languages, that's nearly 50 different voices I
believe.  These are the same voices Freedom Scientific provide for JAWS
purchasers and Window-Eyes users have to pay extra for.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Trace,

Try to stick with eSpeak.  I know it takes a lot of getting used to but
it is so lean and mean it is very responsive and can easily keep up with
anything I do.

Having been a PC user for 25 years I can type pretty fast and I need a
good responsive voice to keep up, and eSpeak never lets me down.  And it
has such a small resource footprint, if you don't have much RAM it
knocks spots off other synths.

There are a couple of other voices you could try.  The svox pico synth
is pretty small and has a nice female voice.  You can download it from
the NVDA site.

Trace,

NVDA is great.  I have switched over to it totally and ditched
Supernova altogether.

There is a lively support email list, the details of which you can
find on the web site.

Trace,
I use NVDA here for everything including iTunes.

I used to use Supernova but ditched it because of the constant upgrade
costs and the fact that I knew more about Supernova than the guys on
their help-desk.

To use NVDA just install it and switch off Supernova.

You can set it up so that when you press control+alt+N it will
start...but stop Supernova first.
