New Eloquence 64-bit release V17.1 is available for NVDA. This release has all the fixes from fastfinge/eloquence_64, like language and dictionary-related enhancements, while preserving the 22 kHZ upsampling. github.com/hozosch/eloquence_64/releases/tag/v17.1 @fastfinge
@amir interesting question, but do we know why this version says "dash dash" for a single dash when reading it with control + left arrow? Try: hi- : read that back word by word, and even though I placed a single dash after the word hi, it says it twice. Is this also broken in IBMTTS I wonder? Gosh darn it's bothering my OCD real bad. @fastfinge
@Tamasg@fastfinge Hmm - interesting. I can't duplicate it. When I press Control+Left, I just hear hi dash. My NVDA punctuation is set to Some, and, in the Punctuation manager, I handle dash this way: -; dash; most; only below symbol's level
@amir@Tamasg There’s also an issue on the GitHub about smart quotes that only seems to affect some people. In short, NVDA stops reading with eloquence when in say all and encountering an em-dash followed by a closing quotation mark. But it works for me LOL. I wonder if these have a common cause? github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/issues/111
@fastfinge I also suggest incorporating the 22 kHZ mode into the main Eloquence 64-bit branch so as to avoid having 2 similar branches with a single difference. @Tamasg
@amir@Tamasg We opted not to do that because the code is quite complicated, and appears to have been fully AI generated. Neither myself nor AKJ feel we understand it well enough to fix any bug reports about it, or maintain it going forward. As you can tell, we have enough problems with the bugs we already have! :-)
@amir@Tamasg Personally, I didn’t even start using it for that reason. I use Eloquence on IOS, Mac, Apple TV, Android, and my Apple Watch. Those platforms will never get this feature. So I’d rather not be spoiled by it.
