<p>last time i tried it the keynote sapi5 voice that he made is very
very slow and unresponsive. that is just how the circumReality
voices are. With NVDA its almost unuseable. <br>

Circum Reality. and If you didn't know, CereProc, Acapela Group,

don't know where we, I say I, can start.<br>

Hi Blake,<br>
I didn't know there was a KeyNote voice for SAPI 5. How was this
converted? What does CR stand for?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Yes, some of the Circum Reality
voices sound good. It's also wonderful that Jake Gross
made a SAPI keynote. I did not know that I could record
myself saying a word for correct intonation. Is version
of Circum Reality on Jake's site the most recent
version? My only issue with CR on Jake's site is lack of
uninstaller. Removing a installed CircumReality voice
requires editing the registry. I had to do that when I
had CR voice(s) on my computer some time ago. Editing
the registry scares me because of the damage incorrectly
editing registry entries can do to a computer. Is there
a newer version of CR available which uninstalls a
voice/ removes voice/CR registry keys?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hello,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>I wanted to touch on one point
please:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Even if they can’t do SAPI, and
even though this wouldn’t be the same, I’m still quite
happy with the now open-sourced CircumReality voice and
think that they sound pretty good.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>What I particularly like about
those is that even if they do have a mispronunciation,
it’s giving you the possibility to change the way a
particular word, or even whole phrases, sound through
manual hand made recordings, I think, which would
theoretically be used in conjunction with the
synthesizer itself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Does this make sense?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>E.g. A user types in “Wow!” but
they find the intonation is incorrect. It says “wow.”
Instead, making it sound boring. So the user can go in
and manually correct this to have it say “Wow!”
correctly by making an individual recording for that.</span></p>

interested in knowing what programming languages,
interpreter scripts, etc they use so that people in
college and university labs who do neuroscientific
work can build more neural networks to experiment
on.<br>
I've read some sci-fi literature on how
mind-uploading could work, but the problem is that
it would be nearly impossible to calculate the exact
number of neurones, neurotransmitters, synapses, and
receptors, and which memories or part of identity
they link up to. It would require a huge load of
processing and a really high knowledge of map
coordination in three dimensions to put a series of
binary code in each region of how the brain would
look like.<br>

ever be able to make local voices, SAPI or
otherwise. At least not in the near future. The
way I understand it, their system uses a massive
GPU cluster to run a neural net that gets trained
on people’s voices (this is why if you make enough
recordings it learns to mimic you so well). It
literally makes connections and figures out
patterns like a human brain. If you were to run
something like this on a single home computer,
even one with a beefy CPU or preferably a good
high end GPU, I imagine it would take days to
train, and then minutes if not a few hours to
generate 1 clip of speech. That being said, neural
nets are getting more and more common and are
started to be used on a small scale on computers
or phones, and some companies like Microsoft or
Google are developing processor chips designed
specifically for neural nets. So maybe you’ll see
this become an offline technology in a few years.
For now, we know that lyrebird wants to make an
API available for this technology, so you can
expect apps and websites to make use of it (IE a
chatting website might let you enter your voice
fingerprint and then you can talk to other people
by typing text and getting your actual voice out,
or perhaps getting news or weather spoken to you
with your own voice)</span></p>

I don't know of any other voice creation
program which can make a SAPI voice. If
you still have the original recordings,
and you still own the copyright in and to
them I.E. you didn't sign some sort of
agreement giving all your rights to
Innoetics, you should in theory be able to
use such a service if one were to exist at

contacting Lyrebird and explaining your
