From: Bill Cox <waywardg...@gmail.com> Subject: Voxin voices work great, espeak not so much in Ubuntu 9.04 [PT] I found that the Viavox synthesizer did not work well with gnome-speech and pulse audio. The problem I had was when a large amount of output was printed to the terminal in gnome-terminal, I could not get Voxin to shut up. Sometimes it would continue for several minutes despite any key press.
After talking to the folks at Oralux, I finally removed pulseaudio, connected all of my sounds through alsa, and ran Voxin with speech-dispatcher. Now I can immediately stop the speaking of Voxin whenever I want without any problem. Thus, I wouldn't recommend using Voxin with gnome-speech, but rather would use speech-dispatcher. But, speech-dispatcher may interfere with pulseaudio, so I removed that. --Petex64 To: ubuntu <ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com>, vinux-developm...@googlegroups.com Message-ID: <499d69a00907081019t544c12b5q9d0e7f58e5011...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I'm running the latest code for atk, at-spi, orca, and compiz. I also have upgraded from the proposed repository. I have found that the old IBM Viavoice speech engine works great with pulseaudio and Gnome Speech Services, when using the IBM Viavoice GNOME Speech Driver. However, the espeak driver still gets cut off and choppy, and is basically unusable. I would recommend to anyone out there who prefers Viavoice over espeak to just install it, and don't bother removing pulseaudio or installing speech-dispatcher to get espeak working. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
