Public bug reported: Binary package hint: espeak
Dear Developers, Possible this bug is espeak-data package bug, I am not known full sure, please correct me if this is need. When I downloading Maverick specific espeak source package, building and installing my Lucid system, Espeak hungarian phoneme is full broken. Short time and short texts I hear a distorted voice and Speech-dispatcher Espeak module is not speaking. If I use original espeak.sourceforge.net awailable espeak-1.44.03-source.zip file, compiling and installing with normal steps, Espeak working fine, hungarian voice is right working, and Speech-dispatcher Espeak module not stop talking very long time. I found possible some useful information why not working the Espeak package right if I using hungarian voice under Lucid and unfortunately Maverick: When I compiled the Espeak package with my Lucid system, following file have binary difference: espeak-data/phondata When I run following command with package source tree after compiling, diff shows binary difference with this file: diff espeak-data/phondata debian/espeak-data/usr/share/espeak-data/phondata Why happening this? This is not good I think. Verify purpose this day morning I downloaded current Maverick dayly live CD and test how works Espeak with original Maverick environment, my test result is not good: When I using Orca Screen Reader with english woice, I not see any problem. But when I switch person with hungarian voice, I see all prewious described problems, so this problem is not only Lucid specific unfortunately. I maked two simple wave file with shows the voice wrong working difference. I using following native Espeak command when I record this two voice file in gnome-terminal: espeak -v en "Hello! This is a test. I hope this text spokening is good." -w text-en.wav espeak -v hu "Hello! This is a test. I hope this text spokening is good." -w text-hun.wav If you try run in Maverick live cd with gnome-terminal the espeak -v hu "Hello! This is a test. I hope this text spokening is good." command, you hear the bad voice result. I sending later attachment with two recorded wave file, one with english language voice and one with hungarian wrong phoneme voice. This problem is always reproducable. I verify original espeak.sourceforge.net website awailable stable version this test, all test are passed, all voice text spokening is good both two languages. My bugreport toplevel I wroted Lucid example, because with longer time I would like upload new Espeak-1.44.03 package with my PPA the Lucid serias, because easyest using hungarian visual impaired users with normal package upgrade method. Espeak 1.44.03 hungarian language voice containing lot of language specific updates and corrections, but of course I known impossible to backport with Lucid officialy the Espeak 1.44.03 package.
