Infovox 4

infovox4 supports the following versions of Windows:

• Windows 7
• Windows 8 and 8.1
• Windows 10

Any PC that meets the minimum requirements for these Windows versions, will be able to run infovox4. You also need a USB port to connect the infovox4 USB unit.

HQ voices for infovox4 can be quite big (between 100 and 250 MB), you choose which ones to install locally by using the Download Manager. Colibri voices are relatively small, about 1 MB per voice.

Yes, infovox4 supports the well-established SAPI4 and SAPI5 standards and it can be used with any screen reader or any other Windows application supporting speech via SAPI, for instance Adobe Reader.

Applications usually automatically scan the computer for existing voices compliant with the SAPI standard, and therefore the infovox 4 voices will be automatically recognized and made available. In some cases there is an option to check for SAPI voices, and so you should activate that.

No, we sell infovox 4 through an international network of distributors. We rely on our network of distributors because they are specialized professional expert which provide software and services within to the Accessibility market

Yes, infovox 4 does not require admin rights to use the voices together and the applications loaded onto the USB device, which also includes the NVDA screen reader. Admin rights are only needed if you want to install infovox locally or if you want to activate the SAPI interface, to use infovox4 with a third-party application.

Yes. However, you can perform a local install directly from the USB device to your own computer. Once the software is installed locally on your computer, you do not need to have the USB inserted in your computer to continue working. With infovox 4 you can install the voices locally on 3 of your own computers (for instance home, work and portable) and still keeping the USB at hands for when you need to use infovox 4 when travelling or using somebody else’s computer.

At Acapela Group we are great supporters of this wonderful open source project and we are proud to support it by donating 5$ to NV Access for each unit of Infovox  4 which is sold.

Infovox4 is compatible with Windows 10, however the upgrade process can cause some issues for the PLI license on your local computer. The upgrade process does not affect in any way the licenses on the USB.

Due to these issues we recommend the following when upgrading your computer to Windows 10:

If you have a PLI license on the computer that you want to upgrade to Windows 10, please start the infovox4 Launchpad and remove the infovox 4 PLI license from the computer (transfer back to the USB) before starting the upgrade.

After Windows 10 is installed, you can re-install the PLI licenses on the computer without any problem.
