Re: [orca-list] Voxin 1.14: Your opinion?



My opinion is that it's none of our business if someone else wants to bang their head against a wall.

My opinion is that Voxin and anything else that uses its binaries and SDK should be discontinued. It's getting harder and harder to maintain, the underlying speech code simply can't be maintained at all, because the source is either lost, damaged or otherwise unavailable even to potential maintainers, it's highly insecure because it relies on older and older system libraries to try to keep it running, the underlying speech synthesizer binary is probably older than Windows ME, which is another piece of old technology that has by now been relegated to the circular file, it has horrible bugs that can't be fixed that cause it to crash on things as simple as typos and OCR mistakes,  and worst of all, it costs money just to use it. If it was a computer we purchased online, we would be giving it 1-star ratings and demanding a refund, or seeing the bad reviews and all the gymnastics it takes just to get it set up and halfway working, we would simply refuse to purchase it. My opinion is that it's a crying shame that this broken piece of trash is still not being allowed to die the death of most old, broken and unmaintainable software.
