I recently bought Libby from Blastbay as the new voice for NVDA in English. It sounds really natural and has a very pleasant delivery. At $20, it's an absolutely fair price.

Filling out #Microsoft #Windows #Narrator survey. Does Narrator even support #SAPI5? Support claims it does, but why my esoteric voices are not there in the list then?.. #Accessibility #ScreenReader
A friend of mine, Beqa Gozalishvili, a very talented developer from Georgia the country, announced an early stage of his #SAPI5 wrapper for the popular #ESpeakNG #TTS engine. bug reports and feature requests are welcome, he says in his Telegram channel. He does speak English. https://github.com/gozaltech/espeak-ng-sapi #Accessibility #ScreenReader #Windows #JAWS #NVDA

Would anyone happen to know if there is a version of #eSpeakNG that has good #SAPI5 support? Thanks in advance. #Accessibility #a11y #BlindTwitter #BlindMastodon #ScreenReader #blind #VisuallyImpaired
I'm looking for a #TextToSpeech program that supports #SAPI4 and #SAPI5, allows #ETIEloquence voice tags, supports writing to audio files, and doesn't make said audio files sound like the Street Fighter II announcer like #TTSApp seems to do. #Balabolka does all the above, but its Eloquence voice tag support is kinda meh.
