@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. -

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:

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.

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.

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.

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 use #eloquence with 64-bit #NVDA? If so, release v7 is now available, fixing bugs with say all and skim reading. An attempt was also made to handle unicode paths, but I'm unsure if it worked completely. github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/releases/tag/v7
