I spent 2+ hours on the phone with Freedom Scientific because I cannot get #JAWS #screenReader to figure out when to read with the #English (#US) voice and when to read with the #Spanish voice. There are three options for language detection: markup, text-based, and AI. I found a Spanish voice (Juan) that I was okay with, and I can manually switch, but that's a *lot* of extra work.
They tried to tell me that the #eloquence voice had all the #languages, but we couldn't make that work, either.
I'm trying to take Elementary Spanish because I need two semesters of an intermediate level language for my communications major.
This exhausted me for the rest of today.

ORDRE TU (Gabrielle Althen)
ORDRE TU Rose qui me regardez, présence sans son nom, rose penchée qui me tendez le monde, vous tremblez. Et je vous prie encore, silencieuse très nue, mon admirable en vain, de penser pour moi qui pense mal à vous. * Enveloppe du silence, mutisme du solstice, le rayonnement pourtant d'une rose dans l'or absent, où l'éloquence écoute. * Signe, cette rose, toute seule contre un ciel abandonné des ors mortels de l'automne. Mes mots se sont enfuis, que l'opéra […]https://arbrealettres.wordpress.com/2026/08/31/ordre-tu-gabrielle-althen/

If you use the eloquence64 #eloquence addon for the #NVDA #screenreader, a critical security release is now available. This is a critical update! Please update as soon as possible.
If you use Eloquence64 on secure screens, after the update, you must IMMEDIATELY! go to NVDA's settings dialogue, select eloquence from the list box, and press the "copy helper to system config" button again.
It fixes the following issues:
* fix: eloquence64 now clears its log file on start
* Fix: in some cases, eloquence64 could write to its log file at 30 megs per second
* fix: in some cases, eloquence64 created multiple temp files and directories that could not be removed
* fix: in some cases, eloquence64 could unexpectedly leave a port open on the computer
* fix: the port and key to communicate with eloquence could be intercepted by other processes running on the machine
* fix: in rare cases, it could have been possible for other processes on the user's machine to cause the addon to load and run arbitrary Python code by causing it to deserialize an attacker supplied pickle. If the addon was running on a secure screen, this would mean instant privilege escalation.
* fixed: crashing or frozen NVDA will no longer leave orphaned eloquence processes behind
* fix: more reliable pause and break lengths
* security hardening: switch to named pipes with DACL for IPC, ensuring no other process can use the 32-bit host
Release page: github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/releases/tag/v21

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.

@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. -

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. -
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.
