Re: [asterisk-users] Cepstral voice quality not good
Actually it is bad only when received on cell phones. Today I listened to the same voices on a Cisco 7942 and they were great. I actually enjoyed listening to them. Not bad on X-Lite either. Previously I was mostly listening to them only through cell phones. So it means it is because of the transcodings at cell phone providers' ends. Bad though because many customers use cell phones exclusively. Maybe if I convert them to gsm format before playing, they'll play better, but will add delay and additional processing because they are converted and played in real time.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cepstral voice quality not good
I fiddled with the demo version of swift a year or so ago and I had better sound quality if I used the non-8khz versions and had app_swift or asterisk convert it for me (not sure, giving app_swift a regular version seemed to JustWork(tm) On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 3:24 PM, Zeeshan Zakaria zisha...@gmail.com wrote: I am using app_swift.

[asterisk-users] Cepstral voice quality not good
Hello list, I have been using Cepstral's 8KHz voices for my text-to-speech service for some time now, and have been noticing that the voice quality is really poor, doesn't matter what phrase I give it to convert. None of the other 8KHz voices I have ever used were this bad. It doesn't seem good enough system to be used in a commercial system. Is there any better quality text-to-voice engine?
