A quotation from Schopenhauer

To use many words to communicate few thoughts is everywhere the unmistakable sign of mediocrity. To gather much thought into few words stamps the man of genius.
 
[Viele Worte machen, um wenige Gedanken mitzutheilen, ist überall das untrügliche Zeichen der Mittelmäßigkeit; das des eminenten Kopfes dagegen, viele Gedanken in wenige Worte zu schließen.]

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) German philosopher
Parerga and Paralipomena, Vol. 2, ch. 23 “On Authorship and Style [Über Schriftstellerei und Stil],” § 283 (1851) [tr. Saunders (1890)]

@freya I know you are trying to make the most of this for you and other power users, however I just wish to add that not all the blind users are so hooked up to eloquence TTS and only a few of them can use their TTS at such high speech rates. I have understood with this initial version of Graphene Speech services we can at least independently pass the initial setup of @GrapheneOS and then we can switch to our TTS synthesizer of choice. For example I am very unlikely to stop using #RHVoice and you are very unlikely to stop using #Eloquence no matter what do the Graphene OS folks implement.
Having really good modern open-source natural sounding TTS for reading books is not a waste as you are pointing out especially if they are planning to make the other direction part of the app i.e. speech to text as well.

We have the same thing with #NVDA on windows. By default it uses natural sounding voice built into windows that has the same mistakes you are pointing out here, then it has espeak-ng included as an opensource alternative capable of running at very very high speech rates. And you are still adding eloquence into your setup eventhough you need to pass extra hoops in order to even make it run on the modern hardware and software configurations.

It's a very good thing you are advocating for all the blind users here but still if I were you I would try to calm down a bit.

Morning mastofolks.
So I just loaded the computer up this morning, to be faced with a connection refused error from #NVDA. Apparently, #Eloquence3t host's connection was refused because the target machine actively refused it...I really don't know what that means, but I suspect it's why #Eloquence won't start up properly when I first turn on my machine?
Any ideas people, please?

Afternoon mastofolks.
Today is not a good day at all. Everything is, once again, going belly up.
Number one. Just spoken to Mum, who still has not had some important test results back. Her doctor's surgery's communications have been worse than useless. On top of that, her house move is being held up, and the solicitors are blaming her and my stepdad for not sending a document. In actual fact, that document was sent to the solicitor electronically two weeks ago.
Number two. Mum asked me to make an angel charm for her a while back. I've made one, but can I find it? Nope. So looks like a redo, and I now don't have the proper stock to make it.
Number three. I've just had to restart #NVDA after updating to the 64-bit version last night. When my computer loaded today, the default windows voice came on instead of #Eloquence.
I honestly don't know what is going on with today, but am seriously fricken done with it.
