Title:
Orca makes cracks, pops, and clicking sound with Festival; eSpeak
speaks too fast.
Status in espeak package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-orca package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-orca
I've upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 in my virtual machine and noticed that
when using eSpeak synthesizer in Orca, the speech rate seems to be at
100% regardless of what setting I've set to. I'm not sure of the
difference in pitch as I've not taken the time to experiment the
change of pitch.
With Festival, I'm able to control the speech rate just fine, but when
I went to speeds over 82, starting 83, it seems to make some weird
click and soft-popping sound. What I mean is when I press either the
left or right arrow key, it clicks, says a number, and then it makes a
low-pitched double pop sound. When I get back to 82, it clicks, says a
number, and no double-popping. Even at 82, I Alt+Tab to the Orca main
window once and it does not make any popping noise. But when I switch
back, it does. Same thing happened with 87, but this does vary
depending on which rate I'm in.
There are less cracks between 70 to 79. For 69, I heard some
1-millisecond 1-tone beep, but it's probably just a click; however,
I'm not sure.
I could go on and on, but in general, there are bound to be some
cracking noises, regardless of speech rate.
This is with RC version of Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu 8.10 works just fine
with eSpeak and Festival. For previous version of Ubuntu 9.04 (I think
it's Alpha 3, but couldn't remember), eSpeak does speak very fast at
100, but most of the time, it goes back to the rate I've set to.
For Festival, kal_diphone is the only one selected.
For eSpeak, I use the default and also tried English-US, but I don't think it
matters anyway.
