Very cool!
Can't believe this is the first I'm hearing of this.
Though I really need to buy some different voices or voicepacks. The default Microsoft Anna SUCKS!!!

Voice Packs are gr8 but IMO it has a downside when it comes to dynamic data, I hope you'll like voice effects in 3.0.

Agreed.
After doing some research, I've decided I'm better off getting new TTS voices for windows instead of the voice pack.
Though they're damn expensive! Range from $30-$45 a pop. :(
I was hoping I could find a decent bundle pack for a reasonable cost. But it's looking like I'm going to have to keep trying demos until I find the voice I like best, and just buying that one.

IVONA is the best. I'm now testing using windows Zira with the effects I believe you will like it. ;)

My original idea is to make Echo has it's own personality and part of this personality is the voice, that's why the voice you choose is Echo's voice. The original idea behind the Galnet feed voice. is that the commander "player" tries to read the news from an electronic recorder. and it should not be the same as Echo. So I made it to select the 1st sound for the Galnet which is "Ivoa Chipmonk" in your case.

However, in the next update 3.0 you will be able to choose the Galnet news voice.

Looking forward to 3.0.
The reading galnet feature is one of the main reasons I want to use this. I rarely read galnet on it's own, but having the computer read it somehow feels more immersive.
Unfortunately this default "Ivona Chipmonk" is god awful. I can't stand it. So going to wait for 3.0 before I buy, so I can change the galnet voice.

Another issue I'm having is I can't get the overlay to show in ED. It shows up over every other app, but for some reason stays hidden behind ED.
Sounds like this kind of stuff is getting addressed in 3.0 as well, so really looking forward to it.

Still an awesome product though! [up]

Thx Andovar :). are you using borderless window mode? if no, you need to change the graphics from full screen to border-less window or window. This will enable the Overlay to show over the game.

Thanks.

Hi Dahill, I'm really sorry, I know I said that the release should be ready by mid this month but unfortunately I will have to postpone for 2 more weeks. Wish me luck [smile]

No worries. I'm sure you'll still be well ahead of the ED 2.3 release. ;)
