Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
Hi Dark, Good question. I know some voices such as the Cepstral voices have a lexicon.txt file which you can edit with notepad in order to change how the cepstral voices handles various words and abbreviations. Other voices apparently aren't so accommodating or customizable in that way. dark wrote: I probably don't need to say it, but Hal has a dictionary too (surprised eh?). the only problem is as Jim's said, where is sapi's dictionary! this gets on my wick extremely when I'm playing a mud, and is often the reason I prefer to actually use non-self-voicing If interpreters with hal, rather than self-voicing ones with sapi.

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
Well Tom, if you knew where I could find such a dictionary for scansoft daniel I'd appreciate knowing, sinse that's the voice I use for all sapi things, and it seems far worse at missspeaking abbreviations than any other voice I've heard, which is a shame, sinse I like it's actual speech quality a lot. I know where to find the dictionaries for both Sam, (hal's synth interface), and orphius itself, though I've very rarely had to use them sinse both have good standard pronunciation, sam's dictionary is even loaded with nice bits of trivia, so by default it pronounces some names like hermione properly. i have no idea where either Sapi's or daniels dictionaries are though, even if they exist. I don't know why Scansoft (and probably other synth manufacturers by the sound of it), load them down with so many pre-defined acronyms, sinse their something which is so very variable! The only ones which seem reasonable to me are mr. and mrs, and even then, I've played a fair few rp games that use mr as melee rating. Then, there are the times that you don't actually want an acronym spoken at all sinse everyone just uses it in the short form. For example, take the designation hms used for British navy ships. Yes, it officially stands for her magisty's, but nobody in England (or indeed anywhere else), would actually refer to a ship as something like the Her magisty's victory. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
Hi Jim, Yeah, ATT Charles is a pretty good voice. I also like Lorn, but haven't gotten around to purchasing that voice yet. Perhaps when I get Lorn I might begin using her in games as I think it might end some of the controversy over Karen. Jim Kitchen wrote: Hi Thomas, I know one gentleman that says that he likes the Sam voice. Of course he kind of sounds like Sam himself. grin I like Crystal for Email, Lauren and Charles for games. But do use Kate and other voices now and then. And of course Kate is on the Book Sense. But I even like Anjali now and then just for fun. BTW One needs to be careful when programming for sapi5, I have found over 250 acronyms that one or more of the voices say. You know like Crystal will say laughing out loud for LOL, By the way for BTW etc. Some will say liter for Lt. and others will say lieutenant. Some will say street for ST. and others will say saint.

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
Hi Dark and Jim, Been there done that as they say. I've played several text games and it drives me nuts when you get a character like Dr. Watson and it says Drive Watson instead of Doctor Watson. You might be playing some roll playing game or mud set in medieval times and it says street instead of saint. It is frustrating, but can be fixed in Window Eyes and Jaws by using the exception dictionaries. dark wrote: I've noticed realspeak daniel has far more trouble with that than orphius, or indeed sapi does. It's rather irritating actually to play a mud and have st read as street, or ms as manuscript. I've tried to find daniel's dictionary to fix this, but have had no luck so far.. That's again one reason I like orphius but as Jim said in an earlier post, i am very familiar with it.

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
Hi Peter, Personally, I have always felt that Scansoft Karen is the best voice for the Windows operating system that is currently available. It is based on a well known singer and voice actress, Karen Jacobson, who has become world famous for her voice. Obviously the TTS Engine falls short of her actual voice, but the TTS Engine is close enough for her fans. Since I could not realistically hire her for the game using the TTS Engine is the next best thing. I would challenge you to find a better female voice for the game. i've tried several voices ATT Crystal, Neospeech Kate, various Cepstral voices, and none lived up to my expectations. ATT Lorn isn't bad, but I don't actually own it thus can't use it. peter Mahach wrote: o no not her!

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
Hi Peter, You have got to be kidding me. Microsoft Sam is like the absolute worst voice I've heard for the computer. If I was going to have my customers suffer through the torment of listening to it I might have just put Sapi 5 support into the Genesis Engine, and be done with it. As far as why I actually switched from Heather to Karen it is a simple matter of the fact Heather has a bad problem with pronunciation. I can give her a word like centaur and Heather totally screws it up, and then I have to fiddle around with the spelling until Heather comes remotely close to saying it correctly. It's not just uncommon words either. I've had Heather say a word like control or enter correctly one minute and then in the next say it completely different. I think you could understand why and how that would drive me completely mad. As far as my selection of game voice goes nothing I choose will please everybody. The only solution would be to add Sapi support into the Genesis Engine. However, not only is it somewhat problematic you have to consider the fact it could take a couple of solid weeks to rewrite all of the speech functions etc to completely convert it over to Sapi. So if you have a better option than Karen please let me know. I have Neospeech Kate, but I'd rather not use it for this game. So how about some options? peter Mahach wrote: nods, me too. anything is better than caren. heck I can even cope with sam rofl though if I were thomas I'd either stick to heather or use another voice like neospeech kate just like in the old days. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
LOL. I always thought Microsoft Sam sounded suicidal. In fact I once created a skit using Text Aloud, Sound Recorder, Gold Wave and a demo of the Dectalk synthesizer in which Microsoft Sam committed suicide and blew up the computer in the process. Then ATT Mike made an announcement along the lines of Sam went nuts and killed himself and the computer and now you're screwed. Then Dectalk sang Taps in a rudementary doo doo doo fashion. So no, I wouldn't use Sam in games. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
Hi Haden, You and me both. I couldn't even play the game if I had to use Sam. I think I could put up with ESpeak, which sounds like crap, before Sam. At least ESpeak I am use to since it is the default TTS Engine on Linux, and I use it daily. So have gotten use to hearing ESpeak, but Sam definitely is never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never going to b used in my games.

Re: [Audyssey] About Thomas' Review...
My most amusing sam moment was when I was in the shower in colidge, and my friends turned up unexpectedly early. Not wanting to rush my shower, I then yelled instructions through the door for my friends to run game of life, and we played it while I showered. I stil remember the fits of laughter we Had, when booming through the bathroom door loud but not clear, over the sound of the shower spray was you may playt eh markit if you own stock, but you dnt! In fact with my friends the phrase but you daaant! became a bit of an in joke. Needless to say, when my install issue for Mike and mary was fixed I was very pleased indeed, and when I acquired realspeak daniel later on, I was thrilled! While I did use microsoft sam for about six months of game playing in 2006, I think going back to it would be a real torment! Now you may disagree with me if you like sam, but you dnt! grin!

I've noticed realspeak daniel has far more trouble with that than orphius, or indeed sapi does. It's rather irritating actually to play a mud and have st read as street, or ms as manuscript.
