Eloquence 64-bit for NVDA now supports a 44 kHz mode. It’s currently in preview and still being fine-tuned.
You can use the Sample Rate combo box in the Voices dialog to increase the default rate from 11 kHz to 44 kHz for clearer speech.
Unlike the 22 kHz mode in IBMTTS and ViaVoice, this mode doesn’t introduce pops, jitters, or unexpected voice resets.
Try the 16.1 upsampling preview release:

https://github.com/fastfinge/eloquence_64/issues/88#issuecomment-4091293709@amir I just tried installing this, and it broke my eloquence so bad that when NVDA restarted, it switched to the windows one core voices. when I try to switch back to eloquence, I get this error.
Synthesizer Error dialog Could not load the eloquence synthesizer.

@JamminJerry Try uninstalling your Eloquence add-on, restarting NVDA, and reinstalling the newer one.

@JamminJerry Try uninstalling your Eloquence add-on, restarting NVDA, and reinstalling the newer one.
@amir I can do that.

@amir unfortunitly that didn't work either.

@amir I wonder if the IBM tts is interfearing with it somehow? it is the only thing I can think of at this point.

@JamminJerry @amir Probably. disable it.

@JamminJerry Ah, it sure does. They can't be enabled at the same time.
-
@JamminJerry Ah, it sure does. They can't be enabled at the same time.
@amir actually? until I tried using this newest version, they could. so something in this newest eloquence makes them not like each other.

@amir and there we go. that fixed it. I had to remove the IBM tts, and the IBM libraries as well. now eloquence is working again.

@JamminJerry They have a long history of not liking one another - haha! I'm not using IBMTTS anyway as it has issues with one of my add-ons, and the 44 kHZ in Eloquence sounds far superior.

@JamminJerry Great! Try the 44 kHZ mode, and I guess you'll like its clarity.

@amir it is pretty clear, but there is still a pop on the word food on a file name. it is a very interesting one, however the pop is a bit less than it was before. it is still popping on the o it looks like. but like I said, it is a little bit better.

@JamminJerry I don't have any of that popping to be honest, but I had lots of pops with IBMTTS's 22 kHZ mode. Even the word regedit, when read alone, could generate a pop there.

@JamminJerry @amir it's more of a click, not a pop. lol.

@amir the strange thing is I never ever had the pops on the IBM tts I was using, but I will say I like the pauses on the eloquence one a bit better than the IBM one. smile.

@munchkinbear @amir if you tyhpe the letter o and back space over it, or just highlight it, you hear the pop on the letter o.

@JamminJerry @amir it's more of a click, not a pop. lol.
@munchkinbear @amir pop, click, tomato tomatoe. lol.

@JamminJerry @amir for me, the pauses are what is keeping me to ibm. if i could have less pauses on eloc 64 i'd switch to it.
