Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Well, I am pretty certain I made the batch file with exactly the same text as the samples in the readme, since I copy-and-pasted them... Just in case, here are the batch files i made using the samples in the readme: (I can only copy-and-paste here because my dropbox doesnt seem to let me upload this.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Hello,Why does the synth sound wierd? In the readme, i used the echo sample, but instead of sounding like I can also sound like an echo speech synthesizer, it sounds like Ee caan also sund jlike an ekong speech synthesizer? If you need a batch file that i did with the synth using both the samples, just tell me and ill try to upload it, or if i cant, ill paste the contents of the batch file here.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Hello,Thanks for your comments again, all of you!For all I know, PureBasic cannot really mess with SAPI5, at least not in the way id need it to. We most probably wont have a SAPI5 version unless someone volunteers to write a wrapper for GSpeak in C which makes it work on that engine.In other news, though, the DLL version of the actual synthesizer is ready for releasing, and for the most part, so is the sp2gspeak library which converts spanish text to GSpeak input. We MIGHT also have an NVDA addon for the synthesizer soon, although it will only have support for spanish. The reason why Im concentrating on Spanish right now is because I have to write the parser myself. English is seriously complicated, and I doubt I would even know where to begin. For the moment Im looking for an English to phoneme parser to see if I can make anything out of that, which is somewhere where you guys could help if you wanted to.Im not planning to enhance the sound of the synthesizer, at least not this prototype. This will most probably end up sounding something like Syntalk 1.6, if any of you know what that is.@victorious, in comparison to those two, ridiculously horrible. Also keep in mind eloquence and eSpeak use formant synthesis, which I havent looked into. GSpeak uses a very primitive form of concatenative synthesis.Adding more voices will probably be done. Since this system is really basic, and thanks to a few changes Ive made to the new PureBasic build, its very easy to add a new voice. I might add a new build of my voice if I decide to re-record all the phonemes.If any of you guys have a decent mic and want to make a voice database for GSpeak, contact me on any of the methods I give in the readme or PM me here. You will need to record a few takes of about 35 phonemes in one file and Ill cut them out and pack them for use in the GSpeak library.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Hello guys,Is it possible to write a batch file for the synthesizer to speak something? I know we can use the command line, but can we instead write a .bat file for it? Its easier like this, imo, because you can copy-and-paste the phonemes and save it into a .bat, then launch the file and the synth will speak. Anyone can help?

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept making this only Spanish will probably prevent a lot of the forum goers from using it. most audio games are only in English, save for the ones marked as Japanese games. I dont even know about syntalk.You could just use the same research that john (creator of e speak) did when making Spanish support. it will essentially be espeak in reverse: while g speak, as you said, is going to support Spanish first and English later, espeak has always supported English since its original risk OS release in the late 90s, and the Spanish support was added sometime after it went cross-platform.I would advise you to add English support before making the NVDA add-on, because otherwise the NVDA developers will not get any use out of it because they are not native Spanish speakers.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Greetings. It would, in the interest of time, be somewhat easier to make a script that the executable can refer to that will launch the file.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Hello,@americandad2005 I am aware of the language issue. I will try not to make this only Spanish. The reason why Im making spanish first is because, as I said, I have to write the parser myself. English is way more complex and I dont have a parser for that. I cant find any, either. This is why I asked for your help a few posts ago. I will keep looking though, of course. I dont plan on having GSpeak in any official add-on list.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Ah, no wonder. I pressed enter between gspeak.exe and the phonemes... Thank you for clearifying. Now for my questions and suggestions: will you possibly add more voices to this synthesizer? Also will you try to make it more natural-sounding, like Eloquence, or even the atT natural voices do? Because in this virsion, as you said, the synthesizer still has no inflections. Also, in the future version, can you possibly make something so we can type normally instead of using phonemes? Like if we type This is a test and ask the synth to speak, itll say it correctly? Also, do you plan to make this available to SAPI5 because most sgames use SAPI. Just wondering.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Hi,First and formost, well done! Even I wouldnt have the patients to do this, and I think you are a true dev for trying this.Its actually extremely well put together for a concept. When you consider espeak could litterally say two words, hello, and test, when it was first introduced, this is a lot better than many, many of the synthesiser concepts out there. Also consider the fact he took the time to sit down, with bgt, which is a language primarily for the scripting of audio games, and write a fully fledged synthesiser that can speak? Thats pritty dam impressive. Most of these things are written in c, c++ and delfi (yes delfi). He wants to write it in PureBasic? Thats totally amaising!Observations:Instead of an out of range error, I think it might be an idea to put some sort of alert box into a final release (but thats purely nice eyecandy as it were). I know it wont stay a command line app though, and as a dll, it does need t he ability to speak strings literals instead of phonetics. My advice would be, start researching this right now, or youre going to be spending more time than nessisary when it comes to creating a dll. However, keeping a phonetic approach, at least internally, sounds good. You can use minimal audio files, thus making the dll smaller. As for SAPI compliants, thats almost impossible these days. Consider the fact hes written the synth from the ground up, instead of using something like FLight or festivle. Its not impossible to get your product into SAPI compliants, though. Im sure there are guides somewhere, I just havent looked.To sum up, then, all in all its a good first concept and Im amaised at its flexibility. The phonemes are well thought out, and Id estimate youre actually able to create most english words with them if you are clever enough. The cmd app isnt that buggy; You just have to know what youre doing with i t.

Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept
Re: GSpeak speech synthesizer concept Hello,Thanks a lot for your comments guys! I can barely remember who said what in this thread and I dont really feel like reading it all over again so Ill just go over the most important points:@tward: The reason why I used bgt is because Im not sure how to capture an undefined number of groups using RegEx. Im trying to find that out, and once I do, I will port this to PureBasic, which will probably result on GSpeak going cross-platform.To the people getting the runtime error: the reason for this behavior is that you are not supplying correct arguments. If you run the executable by itself, it cannot find any phoneme entries so it tries to make the synthesizer speak an empty chunk of text, which I havent really prevented in this release. Go to the directory where gspeak.exe is located using the command line and type gspeak.exe followed by your input. Do not press enter inbetween gspeak.exe and your input or you will run the script wit h no arguments, which is what explorer does, which is what makes it crash.To the one who related this to the Echo speech synthesizer, actually, there is a test line in the readme file which makes it sound a bit like an echo using the pitch functionality. I tried to design this synthesizer to make it flexible, easy to implement into applications and small, although bgt disallows me to make that last part possible.Again, thanks a lot to all of you.
