Dear list,
Jonathan Duddington and me talked e-mail with following problem, I ask
he's hint before I ask this problem with list (I copy shorter letters):
I wroted:
"Interesting, but if I using speech-dispatcher espeak module, sometime I
hear disturb differences with speech-dispatcher espeak sound output.
This problem producing speech-dispatcher espeak module if I read longer
text.
For example I read this text with espeak and speech-dispatcher, the
difference is very big with some phonemes:
"Ind?tsa ?jra a sz?m?t?g?p?t ?gy, hogy a DVD m?r a DVD olvas?ban van. A
sz?m?t?g?p a DVD-r?l fog elindulni."
If the speech-dispatcher speech output coming with for example the
"olvas?ban" word, the speech is little get stuck for b letter.
Interesting, but original Espeak voice is cleaner understanding.
I using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) and Debian Squeeze, and I using
Alsa sound audio output. I using default Espeak module
(.speechh-dispatcher/conf/modules/espeak.conf), not generic espeak module.
I see this problem my all used distributions."
I maked two wave file and sended Jonathan, after he heared, he answered:
"I notice two differences.
1. The speech-dispatcher speech is louder. This causes some
distortion. Perhaps this because of the method you used to make a WAV
file?
2. Yes, there is a short pause (silence) of about 20 mS between the
"b" and and "a" in "olvas?ban" in the speech-dispatcher speech. This
is not present in the eSpeak speech. This causes the problem which you
hear. This looks like a problem with Speech Dispatcher or the audio
output software."
My openion:
I am not sure the wav file recording the problem, because I hear this
differences with different longer text when I read speech-dispatcher
Espeak module, and not only one phoneme.
Anybody confirm this problem, or this is an audio hardware issue?
