* Enable or disable backquote voice tags. Disable it to protect yourself from malicious codes from jokers, enable it to do many fun things with the synthesizer. Requires some extra tweaking with NVDA though to get it to work properly.

* Rate boost. If the synthesizer does not speak very fast to you, then enable it and get the maximum voice speed!
1414
* auto language switching. Let the synthesizer read text to you in the correct language when marked up.

This is just the driver, you must get the libraries from somewhere else.

This driver supports the slightly newer libraries that add East-Asian language support, and has specific fixes for the proper encoding of text. The older libraries without this should work, though.

As of version 21.01, this driver also supports proper integration with the even newer binaries from IBM, rather than just the SpeechWorks binaries. A set of independent fixes for that driver is included, and the additional languages and other differences are accounted for. Only formant voices are supported at present. Thanks to @mohamed00 for this work.
