Eloquence 64-bit V13 for NVDA 2026.x is available courtesy of @fastfinge
Note: you can update using the Eloquence panel from NVDA's Settings window.
What's new in v13?
• Fixed rate prosody state leaking between utterances (temporary rate changes no longer persist into later speech).
• Improved shutdown stability: prevent ConnectionResetError/BrokenPipeError/OSError traceback spam when the host process is terminated during NVDA shutdown.
• Improved compatibility with audio-cue add-ons (e.g., Earcons): ensure callbacks still fire when an empty audio chunk is produced.
• More responsive stop/cancel: speech stop is now handled asynchronously to avoid blocking NVDA’s main thread.
• Settings panel display fixed.
Huge thanks to @akj and @Surveyor123 for their great contributions. And to all who've made regular contributions to this project.

@fastfinge@fed.interfree.ca @amir@dragonscave.space Hey gang. I'm running V17, or trying to, on latest stable NVDA. I have a maximally unhelpful error message. "Could not load Eloquence Synthesizer". Can you tell me how I might figure out why it's barfing?
