eeejay / espeak Goto Github PK

Hi,

Thanks for the great library. Is there a doc / example on how to use mbrola with Javascript?

I tried setting up espeak and mbrola on my machine (Win 7 64 bit). They work nicely using the command line (example: espeak -v mb-id1 "Halo"), however i'm not sure how to do it using Javascript.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Eitan,

I noticed the update to iOS 9 broke meSpeak.js (www.masswerk.at/mespeak/) which is the library I have been using to work with eSpeak in my browser application. It used to work before with iOS 8. I'm not sure your library was supposed to work on iOS 8, but I just found out that your library also doesn't work on iOS 9 (tested in Safari and Opera). I tried this page: eeejay.github.io/espeak/emscripten/espeak.html

Do you think you could try to fix this library so it will work on iOS 9?

Your library is quite a bit smaller than meSpeak.js and apparently also compiled with a more recent version of Emscripten so I'm looking forward to use your library also on iOS. The Web Speech API is not useful to me.

Thanks!

Hello!
Espeak community seems to have decided to move form sourceforge to github.
Can you synchronize/recreate your project as a fork of https://github.com/espeak/espeak/ to be easier and more error resistant to merge in this new repository?
Thanks!

Hi,

The files espeak.worker.js and espeak.worker.data are missing in the folder:
https://github.com/eeejay/espeak/tree/emscripten/emscripten/js
Therefore the espeak.html demo doesn't work.

Is there a specific reason they're not there?

Best regards,
Jip

I'd like to use voice variants, such as female voice variants. I did find 'get_variant' and 'set_variant' strings in the espeak.worker.js file but I couldn't figure out how to use that with your library

The pitch and rate (speed) of the synthesized audio are different compared to the command line version of eSpeak I have installed. Also http://www.masswerk.at/mespeak/ with the same language, pitch and speed has a different sound than this library. On the latest Chrome Desktop the audio from this library is both faster and higher pitched. However, when I use this library in the iOS9 Safari browser, the pitch and speed is lower... strange. Why do you think that is? Do you notice difference with the command line eSpeak and http://www.masswerk.at/mespeak/ as well?

This mirror of SVN trunk in the master branch is slightly stale, see https://sourceforge.net/projects/espeak/ (and its import of latest [r391] at GitHub):

Please update this mirror of the master branch for a last time, because currently people at GitHub are misled to believe this is the latest code in the master branch, as this project's short description under "About" on the front page unambiguously states: "Mirror of main eSpeak SourceForce subversion repository".

Edit: Oh, I just imported the la(te)st release [r391] here at GitHub as a source for comparison and for archival purposes.

Notes:

Mind, that this repository at GitHub contains branches with newer commits on top of this slightly stale clone of the master branch. These three branches build upon each other linearly, with gh-pages being the newest (2016-07-25), which is based on the emscripten branch (2015-04-15), which in turn is based on fxos branch. All in all, the fxos branch seems have brought (compared to the stale, once mirrored master branch here) a few, small general fixes, but also replaced all voice data with "generated voices", the emscripten branch brought the JavaScript support and the gh-pages branch brought a single fix on top the emscripten branch in a misleadingly named branch.

Generally, eSpeak-NG should be utilised, because it is still maintained.
