Subject: faster espeak
Hi
I found a way to make espeak faster with window-eyes-for-office 8.4.
Go into the control panel, into synthesizer and choose sapi5 but
before you do this be sure to go to
www.espeak.sf.net/test/latest.html and get the latest windows version
of espeak. install it if you want klat4 in the edit boxes where you
can enter languages type en-us+klatt4 for spanish mexican you would
type es-la+klatt4 or if you want the male7 variant en-us+m7 or
es-la+m7 those are examples. check the use this as a backup
synthesizer, then choose it, and choose to keep settings. and now go
to screen and turn the rate all the way up to 9 or as high as it will
go.
in the program files x86 folder under espeak and in espeak data then
go into voices then go into the !v folder and if you open up the
variant or variants you installed such as m7 in notepad you can
modify settings like change the pitch range to add more inflection
and change formant qualities and things. also I think if you put
something like
fasttest 500
at the bottom it will upon restarting widnow-eyes make the sapi5
espeak talk really really fast just like eloquence talks. espeak
sapi5 is open source so feel free to play around and have fun but
make a backup synth choice in case you really mess something up and
have to reinstall sapi5 espeak.
it would be cool if there were a window-eyes advanced espeak app that
let us get access to and make changes to espeak voice files and we
could hear the results of our changes in eal-time and even make new
voices for it if we wished. including intonation functions like the
s1 q1 and so on. espeak is a very powerful open source formant
synthesizer and gw-micro set it up a certain way without really
expounding on all of espeak's capabilities. perhaps they did this to
encourage us to buy eloquence or dectalk instead and you can still do
that. but guys trust me if you play around with the voice variants
files you can tweak espeak and make it sound just the way you like. I
did it before its fun. please make an app somebody to let us really
tweak espeak to our heart's content.
Josh
