Did some work on a new high quality #nvda#tts engine for 2026. Unfortunately, I can’t get indexing to work. Even with AI. Help? Someone? It builds with scons. GitHub - fastfinge/supertonic-nvda: supertonic for nvda github.com/fastfinge/supertonic-nvda
@fastfinge More importantly, stopping speech doesn't work. Your approach seems to be wrong. The speak method runs in the main thread, and I assume synthesizing blocks.
@tspivey That's much better. synthesizing now has its own thread. And audio ducking works. Unfortunately, say all still doesn't. I just don't understand how or why indexes work. Neither does Gemini. So I'm stuck.
@tspivey Oh! Why? Doesn't it...oh, never mind. That works perfectly, now. I really, really wish I actually had any talent at this. Writing NVDA addons always makes me feel like a cargo cult programmer.
@fastfinge Well, let me say that it sounds awesome! I really like it for its clarity of voices and natural intonation. But it has huge pauses with NVDA even when commas are encountered. And initial syllables, vowels or consonants are oftentimes missed, and it becomes more evident as we increase the speech rate or speech quality. So 8:34 AM may be announced as 34 AM. Should I open issues on Github? I mean is this something you may want to improve?
