Package: espeak
Version: 1.16-2
A Debian package of the espeak speech synthesizer is available for
powerpc. I have received reports from users that espeak (versions
earlier than 1.19) does not work on powerpc because of the big-endian
byte ordering.
The same problem will occur or any other big-endian processors.
I am the eSpeak author. I have now fixed this, and espeak 1.19 is now
reported to run correctly on powerpc. It is available at
http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ and also as a package for Ubuntu Feisty
(espeak-1.19-0ubuntu1 and espeak-data-1.19-0ubuntu1).
There are two issues:
1. On powerpc (and presumably other big-endian processors), the byte
order of 16 bit sound samples which are sent to the portaudio sound
output interface is the reverse of that which is written to WAV files.
2. eSpeak's data files (in directory espeak-data) are compiled data,
and differ from the little-endian versions. These data files are
compiled from the source data using the espeakedit program, and for
powerpc they must be compiled by running espeakedit on a big-endian
processor.
