Hi Jonathan, I tried the experiments you suggested.
1.> What text output do you get if you use the -x option, eg: > espeak -x "hello"? Interestingly, I'm not getting any text at all. When I do this, I'm immediately dropped back to the shell with no output. 2. What happens if you send the speech output to a WAV file? Again, nothing useful. I think eSpeak is actually creating an invalid wav file. When I attempt to play the file using aplay, I get: Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 576061440 Hz, Mono aplay: set_params:965: Unable to install hw params: ACCESS: RW_INTERLEAVED FORMAT: S16_LE SUBFORMAT: STD SAMPLE_BITS: 16 FRAME_BITS: 16 CHANNELS: 1 RATE: NONE PERIOD_TIME: (21333 21334) PERIOD_SIZE: (12289118 12289119) PERIOD_BYTES: (24578236 24578238) PERIODS: (16 17) BUFFER_TIME: (341333 341334) BUFFER_SIZE: 196628971 BUFFER_BYTES: 393257942 TICK_TIME: 0 I'm not sure where to go with this nextin terms of further troubleshooting. If it would help at all, I could grant you ssh access to the box. Please let me know if that would be of use, or if there is anything else you'd like me to try. --Al -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
