Do you speak another language? Do you wish the #eloquence addon for 64-bit #NVDA (version 2026 and above) was available in that language? Now it can be! Thanks to the hard work of CyrilleB79:
• french translation is available (by CyrilleB79)
• support for translations was added (also by CyrilleB79)
Sadly, as a monolingual person, I'm unfamiliar with the translation workflow. But it works the same way as other NVDA addons. All translation submissions are appreciated, with priority given to the languages eloquence supports. If there are no other changes that need releasing, I will release a new version of the addon every Friday with all available translation updates. You can install the addon via the updater, or find the latest release, along with a file called Eloquence.pot that I believe translators need, here: github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/releases/tag/v16

It looks like you need to make a file named nvda.po, then put it in:
addon/locale/your_two_letter_language_code/LC_MESSAGES

Thinking about jumping on the iOS 26.4 Beta 2 developer train, but I have a few specific accessibility "deal-breakers" I'm worried about. Any fellow VoiceOver users seeing these?
* Eloquence Crashes: I’m getting random speech crashes (about 1–2 times a month) even on the Home Screen. Worried the new "Liquid Glass" UI layers and background processing in this beta will make memory management worse for legacy synthesizers.
* Total Security App Failure: My security system app is currently a "black hole." I can't check or manipulate it with OR without Screen Recognition. Has anyone found that 26.4 improves AI element detection, or is it still a bust?
* Transparency Fixes: In 26.3, I had to toggle "Reduce Transparency" to get my employer’s phone app to render properly. I’ve heard Beta 2 tweaks these layers again—anyone seeing regressions with transparency/contrast settings?
* Database Stability: I do heavy database work in Tap Forms Pro. Concerned about reports of VoiceOver focus-jumping or keyboard lag in record-heavy apps in this build.
Staying on 26.3 for now because I can't risk a full restore (iCloud is full!). Any insights from the beta testers?

Okay! New #NVDA #eloquence release. Once again.
This release fixes all of the bugs in v9:
• your dictionaries no longer get clobbered by the dictionary updater
• the addon updates button no longer just displays an error
Moving forward after this release you should be able to use the "check for updates" button in the eloquence category under settings.
github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/releases/tag/v10

Another day, another #eloquence release for #NVDA 64-bit:
v9: proof that begging for contributions works
This feature packed release is thanks to regular contributor titet11, and new contributor crucio2211! Here's what's new:
• Smart dictionary updates: Preserves user's custom dictionary entries during updates, Only adds new words, prevents duplicates, and Auto-removes accents for compatibility (é→e, ñ→n). It also auto-downloads new language dictionaries. (Thanks crucio2211)
• Enhanced Pause Control (from IBMTTS): Three pause modes for better speech rhythm. Mode 0: Do not shorten, Mode 1: Shorten at end only, Mode 2: Shorten all pauses. (once again thanks to crucio2211)
• One-click setup for Windows logon/UAC screen support: now you can click a copy helper button in the eloquence settings category, meaning manual copying is no longer required. (Still from crucio2211 who is on fire)
• Ability to check for updates manually (thanks to crucio2211)
• fixes to voice pitch when switching languages (thanks to eloquence_64 regular titet11)
• correctly sets pitch for voices other than the default (thanks to titet11)
• makes sure pitch never goes out of the range allowed by eloquence (thanks titet11)
• Multiple other fixes to pitch control (thanks titet11)

If you use #NVDA 64 bit with #eloquence, v8 is out for you now. Here are the release notes. Written after just a single beer:
Everything in this release is thanks to pbsinnett, a brand new contributor! This restores dash pauses, prevents the double dash stutter, and makes dictionary entries with dashes work in the community dictionaries. Note that you must have the dash symbol in NVDA's "Symbol pronunciation" configured to "Send actual symbol to synthesizer only below symbol's level." If you're still having issues, please check that setting.
Do you want to be cool and amazing like pbsinnett is? Do you want to have your github username called out in these release notes? People who submit pull requests are up to seventy percent more attractive, according to statistics that I just made up! And these issues want your help:
• #49: adding the shorten pauses feature from IBM TTS
• #42: fixing unicode issues in the driver
• #41: the mystery issue! Nobody knows what's wrong or how to fix it. Could you be the one?
• #40: do you feel like going through the pitch setting code with a fine tooth comb? Because it's sloppy, and you will find bugs. Then you can stomp on them! Just think how satisfying it'll feel when you do.
