this problem with ending wovels is very annoying echo te le se ty ly sy py gy ta la sa | espeak -v mb-fr1 # only sy sounds good (like english 'e' ) py and gy sounds like english 'i' instead, and other ending french e and a vowels sound is missing
With espeak_1.45.04 only py and gy sounds bad ('i' instead of 'e') So in the meanwhile i use version 1.45.04, and i block package update with dpkg --set-selection 64bits http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/espeak/espeak_1.45.04-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/espeak/espeak-data_1.45.04-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/espeak/libespeak1_1.45.04-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb 32bits http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/espeak/espeak_1.45.04-1ubuntu2_i386.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/espeak/espeak-data_1.45.04-1ubuntu2_i386.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/espeak/libespeak1_1.45.04-1ubuntu2_i386.deb block update: (unblock with 'install' instead of 'hold') echo espeak hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo espeak-data hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections echo libespeak1 hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948884 Title: mbrola is unable to pronounce the French word "les" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/espeak/+bug/948884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
