Another Voice file creation problem.

[Llorean]

Could you try it with an official voice file and verify if this problem happens?

Hello:

I am not having that problem with the official voice file release.  It appears to be a SAPI5 issue.  The problem with the official voice files is the voice quality.

Thanks.

Hi,

you said this also happens for talkfiles, is this correct ?
If so, it would we be nice if you could check if the generated wavfiles are also clipped, and not only the encoded endproduct.
This would help to find the bug :-)

(Disable the option which deletes the wavfiles in rbtuil at the Talkfile generation dialog and generate new Talkclips, the play a wav file correspondig to a clipping talkfile)

Hi Again:

The WAV files generated by the rbutilqt.exe program work perfectly.  The problem is in the MP3 creation.

Thanks much.

Only the old Archos players use MP3 voice files, everything else uses speex.  Are you sure it is generating MP3s?

Hi again:

Sorry about that.  I meant to say Speex and not MP3.

Thanks.

Hi,

if the wavfiles are fine, it surely sounds like it is the encoder, but i still have to find the bug :-)
could you please provide such a cutoff talkfile for analysis ?

Hi:

How do I send the file to you or should I just provide the link to my FTP server?

Thanks all over the place.

[Domonoky]

providing a link to your ftp is fine, or else you could just email me..

I'm not sure if this is related to the original problem here, but I cannot get the rbutil-created voice file to work.

Sansa e260
Rockbox r16908
Rbutil 1.0.4 configured to use Microsoft Mary SAPI5 voice and speex encoder

I successfully used rbutil to generate .talk clips for all my music files and folders that all speak very nicely.

I then tried to create an english.voice file that appeared to be generated correctly, giving a 1584 kB file, but it just does not voice any of the menus. The downloaded english.voice file (http://www.rockbox.org/voices/sansae200-20080405-english.zip, 869 kB) voices correctly.

FWIW, I also tried creating a norsk voice file, but that did not work either...

That seems to have been my mistake. I noticed afterwards that rbutil designated player was set to Sansa c200, not e200. With that changed, the voice file seems to be created correctly for any of my voices and languages.
