Well, I'm pretty sure what we see in the log is actually passed to festival because I can clearly hear the voice saying "backslash" in my example :) (the trailing numbers are being omitted however).
liquidtts behaves slightly different when called directly: In my case the special characters (like umlauts äöü) are just ignored (e.g. no voice saying "backslash") which is more what I expected to get as I'm using an English voice for festival (it probably doesn't know how to pronounce umlauts...) So I guess there is some wrong or unnecessary character transcoding going on BEFORE the text is passed to festival... cheers, Henry > Hi Henry, > > I'm not sure where the problem is.
