I several minutes ago purchased the two new voices for the Blastbay TTS engine, and I'm very impressed with it. It is a hybrid engine (combination of neural and formant), has two American English voices, a male named Richard, and a female named Libby. Libby is my favorite. This synth is both 32-bit and 64-bit, is SAPI 5 compliant, and has a sample rate of 48 kHz. It's very responsive with NVDA, and it can go very fast, even without using rate boost (I never use high speech rates, I just keep it at default rate values for all of my speech synthesizers I have, for consistency reasons). Each voice costs $19.95, and it uses the classic email and serial number authorization method. Note: when you try entering the serial number during the installation, the is a password field, so you will hear ***... in NVDA.

Randahl FinkWe all screw up sometimes. So when you do, do not be too hard on yourself.
And if you make a really big mistake, it may calm you down to know, that at least you are not one of the two French scientists who in 1793 were tasked with defining the length of 1 kilometer as 1/40,000 of the earths circumference.
They got it wrong, which means 1 meter is off by 0.2 mm, which means that for all eternity Earth’s circumference is not 40,000 kilometers, but 40,075 kilometers.
That one has got to sting.
Niki TonskyYou thought Bluetooth 200ms of latency is bad? AirPlay has 3 WHOLE SECONDS of latency.
Don’t ask me how I learned this. The hard way. Let’s just say certain Apple speakers that have Airplay as their only connectivity option will be returned to the store
On This Day In HistoryToday in 1877, 148 years ago: Alexander Graham Bell installs the world's first commercial telephone service in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
