  If you want heavy breathing I could try and Google a few 900 numbers for you

during speech is.

  I would like to hear a longer slower demo of the Alex voice.  I want to hear 
the breath sounds.  It has never bothered me in the past that they weren't 
there but I'd like to see if I'm going to like it or not.  I presume you can 
turn the breath sounds on or off?  And if you have it off, can you demo it with 
it on please?

Re: Sample of Alex

2014-09-06 Thread Alex Hall
Lol, I thought I was the only one! I've never liked Alex as much as other 
voices, especially now that Nuance speech has gotten so good (on the Mac 
anyway). I'd rather have Ava on iOS than Alex, but that's just me. As always, 
speech is the most subjective thing out there, and no one will ever agree on 
which is the better voice. That's why there are so many, and with Alex coming 
to iOS, maybe in the future we'll see more voices become available, giving us 
the choice to use the one we think is best.

If you use Windows Media player to play the file you can slow it down to half 
or less. Admittedly, that will degrade the quality but it will increase the 
'intelligibility', LOL. Best to compare it at normal speed with a slower 
speed, then.

he will also probably sound different on smaller iDevices. As it is, I believes 
he suffers from the lo-fi defect heard in Apple's premium voices.

RE: Sample of Alex

2014-09-06 Thread Lynda Ingraham
Hi Annie, 

 

To expand a little on the point Alex made, an excellent one. Another
consideration is related to those of us with hearing loss. I'm glad you
described the sound of Alex as being metallic. As a person with a hearing
loss, I didn't notice that at all. I do have losses in all frequencies. My
most serious is in the higher range. This makes it very difficult to
understand the female voice on the Iphone for me. With that said, if I
switch to the Australian English voice, I do much better.  

 

Have a great day, 

 

Lynda

I am wondering why people love that alex voice so much. I hate it myself. It

I was a bit disappointed in that I wanted to hear Alex doing the breath

matter.  I'll be updating my 5s in the not to distant future and can hear it

I was interested though to hear the rest of the pod cast.  At some point

Re: Sample of Alex

2014-09-06 Thread Alan Paganelli
I would like to hear a longer slower demo of the Alex voice.  I want to hear 
the breath sounds.  It has never bothered me in the past that they weren't 
there but I'd like to see if I'm going to like it or not.  I presume you can 
turn the breath sounds on or off?  And if you have it off, can you demo it with 
it on please?


Regards,

Alan

Re: Sample of Alex

2014-09-06 Thread Teresa Cochran
It's really a matter of personal freference. I imagine it's hard to say why 
someone has a personal preference. A lot of people really like Karen, the 
Australian voice, but to me, she speaks too softly and breathily. A lot of 
people think Alex doesn't sound the way you describe. This is one reason there 
are so many voices to choose from. :)

Re: Sample of Alex

2014-09-06 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi Everyone.

Thank you for your answers it is a funny thing with these differences. I really 
hope in the future we can get a better danish voice. It would be great if we in 
the future could buy voices e.g
from accapella, they do better voices for danish than nuance do. We had the Ida 
voice everyone loves it has been discontinued and now we have Sara which is not 
a better voice, it is for some people really difficult to understand. 
Unfortunately some danish users choose android because they can get accapella 
voices instead.

Best regards Annie.Den 06/09/2014 kl. 15.36 skrev Alex Hall 
mehg...@icloud.com:

 Lol, I thought I was the only one! I've never liked Alex as much as other 
 voices, especially now that Nuance speech has gotten so good (on the Mac 
 anyway). I'd rather have Ava on iOS than Alex, but that's just me. As always, 
 speech is the most subjective thing out there, and no one will ever agree on 
 which is the better voice. That's why there are so many, and with Alex coming 
 to iOS, maybe in the future we'll see more voices become available, giving us 
 the choice to use the one we think is best.

I would like to hear a longer slower demo of the Alex voice.  I want to hear
the breath sounds.  It has never bothered me in the past that they weren't
there but I'd like to see if I'm going to like it or not.  I presume you can
turn the breath sounds on or off?  And if you have it off, can you demo it
with it on please?

You can adjust pitch in Voiceover settings. I have lowered Alex's pitch on the 
Mac to a more baritone voice, but I don't change the pitch for Daniel's voice, 
as I fine him easy to understand. As for tone, I don't believe there's a way to 
adjust that in Voiceover settings, but you can do this on external sfeaker and 
headphone systems which allow it.
