Hi udit
If you are talking about making your own E speak voice you do not
use your voice to record a sample of it. It is more playing around
with certain parts of it like changing the tone etc then listening
to it to see if it does what you want. There is a file in where
all the voices are keaped called tweaky that will guide you on how
to do it.
It might be different for the sapi version but have not tried it.
There is also a link here that is off one of my pages of where to
look to find the E speak voices where they are keap.
Look for the headings that refer to E speak and they will show
you where to look on the installer version as well as the portable
version..
The link to this page is http://www.accessibilitycentral.net/how%20to%20install%20additional%20nvda%20components.html
I have put in the contents below for the tweaky file.
Yu can copy the content of the tweaky file into notepad then make
some changes. But to hear the difference it must be put back into
the folder where they are keap.
You can use notepad to play around with the settings.
##Please note the 2 number signs, or pound signs in this file are
for comments to help you to understand what the settings are and
how to set them.
## Language sets the language of your voice. This setting is
required for every voice that you make.
##The next line is a setting you can change. However if you don't
know the language codes it may be best to leave the setting as it
is.
language variant
## The name setting is the name that will show up in the voice
settings in the variant combo box.
##The next line is a setting you can change
name Tweaky
##The formant settings
## Formant 0 is used to give a low frequency component to the
sounds.
## The three numbers are frequency, strength, and Width, in that
order. Please note, the numbers are seperated by a space.
##The next line is a setting you can change
formant 0 100 100 100
# Formants 1,2, and 3 are the standard three formants which define
vowels.

formant 8 100 100 100
##Intonation affects the rise and fall of the voice
## The settings are 1 default, 2 less intonation, 3 less
intonation and commas do not raise the pitch, 4 the pitch rises at
the end of a sentence rather than falling.
##The next line is a setting you can change.
intonation 1
# Setting the pitch range. The first number gives a base pitch to
the voice (value in Hertz). The second number controls the range
of pitches used by the voice. Setting it equal
# to the first number will give a monotone sounding voice. The
default values are 82 and 118.
pitch 82 118
## The tone setting. The first number on the setting line, 600,
is the frequency setting for the amount of bass in the voice.
## The second number on the tone line is the volume of the bass
frequency. You can set it from 0 to 255, 0 being the least
amount, 255 being the most.
##The third number on the tone line, 1200, is the mid range
frequency. The fourth number on the line is the setting to change
the volume of the mid range frequency.
##0 being the least amount and 255 being the maximum.
## The fifth number on the tone line, 2000, is the treble
frequency. The sixth number is the volume of the treble
frequency. 0 is the minimum and 255 is the maximum.
## You will notice that all 3 frequencies are set to 255.
##The next line is a setting that you can change.
tone 600 255 1200 255 2000 255
##This file does not include all of the settings that can be used
to modify an E Speak voice. It is intended to get you familiar
with what the settings do.
##However, you can go to http://espeak.sourceforge.net/voices.html
and read further information about other settings that can be
added and changed. I hope this helps, and Have fun.
