Sergey Shishmintzev who owns russian synthesizer newfon with some help of me has created a special version for NVDA. it is in form of a few dll libraries, so it is pretty portable. without stress dictionary it takes ~400 kb, and rulex dictionary (which is used in espeak for russian language too) is ~2 mb if zipped. Synthesizer can read in russian and Ukrainian after some text preprocessing. bellow is a kind of license for it:
this license is related to a special version of the newfon synthesizer (program), adaptation of which is developed for the NVDA screenreader by Sergey Shishmintzev.
- permitted to distribute this program with NVDA screenreader or separately, only without financial gains (exclude compensating for the digital media costs).
- usage of the program allowed only for non commercial purposes.
- for the commercial purposes usage, or other things which are not described here, please, contact the author of program, Sergey Shishmintzev: sergey.shishmintzev@gmail.com
i have written the NVDA synth driver, which just calls dll and makes some preprocissing (thus not all which is needed). some people allready tested it and said that it is stable. ofcourse synth driver is distributed on gpl license, as all of NVDA source.
also, i want mention, i guess that this synthesizer is needed for russian comunity, becouse it is very much russian-like than espeak russian voice, has good performance, high speed of talking and is portable (not requires installation).
