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.
