I would love the speech player edward voice to support all of espeak's phonemes and languages as well as the default voice. I like klatt voices. but my issue with klatt edward is that it does not have all the phonemes of original espeak. please fix this because i really like the edward voice and wish i could just use it in any espeak-supported language!

What I really do not like about espeak is the sound of r in my
language: the letter is spoken very different in Italian. It is not like the French r. Please, if you could try to solve this. Hope I was clear as I don't know how to better explain that. Thank you.

I understand exactly what you say. In Afrikaans I have the same problem. It is true that many of the Afrikaans speaking people pronounce their "r" like the French, but it is not the norm. I echo your sentiments concerning the request for someone, with much more knowledge than I on this matter, to try and make a plan. I have a further problem with ESpeak in Afrikaans. When I use certain voices it sounds like someone speaking with loose false teeth, at the point of losing them. Maybe the developers can try to solve that problem while they work on the "r".

I am not sure I understand what you say. I quote: "I have a further problem with ESpeak in Afrikaans. When I use certain voices..." There is only one Afrikaans voice. It sounds like you have a problem with other Afrikaans voices. Where did you get those? Regards Other Christo On 2016/04/21 7:14 AM, Christo Vorster wrote:

Both Christo's, maybe this relates to voice variants?

While the klatt variants sound closer to somewhat natural sounding voices, I myself, most of the time, use tweaky variant, no matter which language am setting it to, and this is since it offers me the sort of cleanest differentiation between various letters that might otherwise sound somewhat similar, but anyway. And, that's just my guess relating to what Christo Vorster is referring to. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA "Roger Wilco wants to welcome you...to the space janitor's closet..."

Please ignore my previous message. I have seen now that there are a lot of voices that can be used for Afrikaans. This is something new. I didn't notice it, because I have not been using eSpeak that comes with NVDA, but a version that I installed separately which I can also use from other programs. This is a nice new feature. I tried a number of the voices and I think for Afrikaans I like Rob the best. Thank you for opening my ears to the new voices. I learnt something today.
