Eloquence 64-bit for NVDA now supports a 44 kHz mode. It’s currently in preview and still being fine-tuned. You can use the Sample Rate combo box in the Voices dialog to increase the default rate from 11 kHz to 44 kHz for clearer speech. Unlike the 22 kHz mode in IBMTTS and ViaVoice, this mode doesn’t introduce pops, jitters, or unexpected voice resets. Try the 16.1 upsampling preview release: https://github.com/hozosch/eloquence_64/releases/tag/upsampling_preview For more on the upsampling preview and author discussions check here: https://github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/issues/88#issuecomment-4091293709

@amir@dragonscave.space The hell? Why? How? Doesn't that just do the exact same resampling pass that the mixer system does before it hits the audio device?

@amir@dragonscave.space This has the hiss the Eloquence on the iPhone has. It is particular Noticeable on words with s in them. I did hear some popping. but the hiss is very noticeable.

@amir@dragonscave.space I just tried installing this, and it broke my eloquence so bad that when NVDA restarted, it switched to the windows one core voices. when I try to switch back to eloquence, I get this error. Synthesizer Error dialog Could not load the eloquence synthesizer.
