Nuance vocalizer voices for textaloud6/16/2023 ![]() Rachel, even today, I occasionally have to give public talks, and the general reaction I always get to the quality of my voice is still “holy shit, what are you using?” There have been times when other disabled voice synthesis users have started crying when they learned I had the ability to customize my voices. Even your end users are, well, mostly just neophyte computer users with no real idea what voice synthesis can be like. ![]() They’re at least as interested in simple administration as they are in actual voice quality. Instead, your customers are software companies that sell to speech pathologists and other healthcare professionals who have criteria different from end users. That means your customers are almost never your end users. Sure, they’re software, but they’re still engines. Can you really understand that? Your department (or is it a division?) is truly in the business of selling engines. ![]() Instead, I have life requirements, because I literally live or die by my assistive communication software. It is fair to say that I no longer have business requirements in the sense that I’m no longer employed for a living. You should additionally expect my investigation to generate any number of questions, and I hope you will see it as in Nuance’s own best interest to redirect them to your software engineers. You should rest assured that I will investigate Vocalizer to the extent that the demonstration software permits.
