hey curious foryou #tts and #accessbility fokes who use #windows .
do you use any free system wide (not just NVDA) neural voices tools? E.G. peiper? if so, where can I get them?

I create my teaching materials as #OER with #EmacsReveal [1]. For my course on IT Systems [2] in summer term 2025, I switched to #Kokoro [3] as #TextToSpeech model, and students generally liked the quality (see README of emacs-reveal for evaluation results). Teaching resources are video-like, interactive HTML presentations with audio, generated from #OrgMode text files using GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
This holiday season, I found the time to release #EmacsReveal 9.54.0, which includes the settings I used for IT Systems. I also updated the #TTS Howto [4] to use Kokoro.
Feel free to reuse my course materials and emacs-reveal! All the best for 2026!

A friend of mine, Beqa Gozalishvili, a very talented developer from Georgia the country, announced an early stage of his #SAPI5 wrapper for the popular #ESpeakNG #TTS engine. bug reports and feature requests are welcome, he says in his Telegram channel. He does speak English. https://github.com/gozaltech/espeak-ng-sapi #Accessibility #ScreenReader #Windows #JAWS #NVDA
The State of Modern AI Text To Speech Systems for Screen Reader Users: The past year has seen an explosion in new text to speech engines based on neural networks, large language models, and machine learning. But has any of this advancement offered anything to those using screen readers? https://stuff.interfree.ca/2026/01/05/ai-tts-for-screenreaders.html #ai #tts #llm #accessibility #a11y #screenreaders

Justamente o que eu quis dizer: o mecanismo de #TTS (text-to-speech / texto para voz) pode servir para isso mesmo!

Eu não tenho o idioma japonês baixado e configurado aqui, senão ele provavelmente leria "neko" para mim, ao pressionar o botão 🔊
