Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Dark, Lol. I didn't quite see it that way at the time, but now that you mention it I do like the idea of a badass Australian female with lots of attitude. For one thing it would be different from the usual American or English treasure hunter we see in movies and games, and I do just like the accent. It is certainly worthwhile considering at some point.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Dark, I don't think I have ever heard your Fighting Fantasy podcast, but I'd like to hear it if you have a link to it. Not just for the voices, but I'd be interested in hearing it for its own sake. As for the Vocalizer voices there are actually three different versions on the market. Apparently Nuance has a fast and responsive version which uses less memory but isn't quite as high a quality as say their Plus or Premium versions. The higher the quality the voice the less responsive and more laggy it is, but the higher the quality of the voice. Most screen readers like Jaws and perhaps Supernova are using the Expressive versions which sound okay, not as good as the premium voices, but are more responsive and better suited for day to day use with a screen reader where their higher quality versions is better for something like Text Aloud which only reads books and other documents.

[Audyssey] Transferring skills from playing audio games?
As anyone who has been ahnging about on audiogames.net will know, I have recently downloaded the blind square ap for my Iphone. For those who don't know this is a satnav system which uses the maps from the foursquare social network, however Blind square is unique as satnavs go because it's main function isn't planning routes, but letting you know where you are and what is around you. Thus, when walking along it speaks information of what road your on, which way you are walking, the address and also nearby items on the foursquare maps such as shops, cafes, government or educational buildings etc, and points these out to you in clock directions with distance, eg "sandwich place, sub way at 11 O.clock, 10 meters" obviously blind square isn't the first tool of this type (I tried a trekker myself), however it does have the advantage of not requiring any extra equipment than the Iphone, and being very simple to use, as you walk and it speaks, indeed using the belt hook of the surviver case I have for my phone I don't even have to worry about headphones sinse I can attach my Iphone quite securely to the strap of my shoulder bag which I pretty much carry everywhere, meaning it's thus very close to my left ear and I can leave my lug holes free for information.. However, I didn't write this message just to discuss the advantages of blind square, but to note an interesting fact. Blind square provides almost exactly the same information as the directional commands in swamp, or come to that, in the city map of gma tank commander stage 2. Obviously there are differences, sinse the sattelite navigation system is accurate only to within the nearest 5 meters, and also where as in a game like shades of doom or swamp I'd be reliant on other information such as footsteps sounds, object locator, overhead minimal graphics (if present), , etc to do the actual physical moving around obstacles, in reality I tend to rely on my guide dog Reever plus my senses for that, however on a general level I did find the fact and use of general location information quite interestingly similar. It is obvious that playing games develops certain skills, for example if a person plays a stratogy game they naturally become better at analytic thinking, managing resources etc, while action games can improve reflexes, split second decision making and reaction speed. Also manifestly if a person is using their screen reader/ios device/web browser to play games, they'll become much more familiar with it quickly, I have said before how I learnt browser navigation through playing games like ashes of angels and legend of the green dragon, and certainly getting used to Voice over and the Iphone was much more fun with king of dragon pass, albeit I think I sort of jumped in at the deep end there :D. This has been known mainstream for a long time, but the very striking similarity to navigating with a satnav ap such as blind square, the informational content it gives being so similar to that in 3D audio games does make me wonder if perhaps it would be worth allerting some Vi related agencies of the point. I also mention blind square because four square is rather fun in the way that you get points for going to specific locations, which is fun. One intrinsic problem with Vi mobility is people are often not willing to go out and explore the environment or go to different places. This could be expanded into something that actually encouraged people to explore the environment around them a little more, perhaps even one tied to an rpg. Either way, I do think this is one area where audio games and real skills very much combine and it'd be nteresting to see what advantage could be taken of this, both for making people aware of audio games, and maybe if any ios developers were interested creating some games to help people with their mobility.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi tom. The orphius voice you heard was likely synthetic dave, which is indeed very robotic. However, in Supernova version 6 dolphin started shipping the human voices as default, and if you hear my podcast about the fighting fatnasy project game that I made in 2007, it has that voice. Unfortunately for some crazy reason dolphin stopped shippping in version 10, though the human voices are still available for download from dolphin's site plus I have them backed up on my harddrive and if the orphius synth itself hadn't crashed on me I'd likely still be using them, sinse I did always find them the best compromise between speed and clarity, albeit vocalizer does seem to have sorted the responsivity issue at least.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Tom. I do see your point on tts voices in menus just being the audio equivolent of text printed to the screen in a graphical game, rather than the sort of sound you'd get in a cut scene, but I actually sort of liked the idea of Angela Carter as an Ozy. The fifth doctor had an asistant called Tegan Gevanka, who was a waitress on an airliner that got lost in a wormhole. She was famous for being very loud and irritated and not prone to screaming fits, indeed on at least one occasion she gave an alien the one two with a steel bar, which is quite something for doctor who (particularly with the fifth doctor who was the most actively pcifist off all his encarnations). That's likely why I sort of associate australians with being hard cases which would be sort of fitting for a gun toting archaeologist, albeit on the occasions I've met australians that isn't exactly true. Beware the grue!

Hi Dark, Lol. No, Angela Carter wasn't suppose to be Australian, but I didn't see the voice of the game as being representative of her voice or nationality. I just considered the voice of the game as the TTS output. Nothing more and nothing less. I could have used Realspeak Tom as the TTS output and just because the narrator was male didn't mean the game character had to be male too. Cheers! On 3/8/14, dark wrote: Hi Tom.

Re: [Audyssey] Beyond tititanic.
Hi Lisa, Afraid not. As far as I know the Dos Titanic game was the only version of that game, and at the moment I don't have or know where to get an uncorrupted version of the original Dos version.

Hi Dark, I don't think I have ever heard Alan or Carol. The only Orpheus voices I have ever heard were pretty robotic and sounded like Robbie the Robot on drugs. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Bryan, Oh, I don't know about that. I have gotten use to Espeak and it isn't that bad once you get use to it. Of course, it is the default voice on Linux and I have used it with NVDA a lot so I probably have just grown use to the sound of Espeak. Either way, the voice of Keynote use to get under my skin when I had it, and I don't have that problem with Espeak. Cheers! On 3/7/14, Bryan Peterson wrote: > No kidding.
