Re: [orca-list] Orca and Cepstral



Do you experience the same issues when using the gnome-speech driver for Cepstral? I'm the guilty person responsible for the gnome-speech driver for Cepstral, so it's very likely I could have screwed something up when writing it.

That's too bad too.  I really like their voices and would love to
listen to Cepstral Callie all day long while running Orca but she
falters too much.  Like I say, if I could get them to work with ALSA
and perhaps a direct speech dispatcher module, maybe things would be
better for her.

Yep Cepstral voices do that too on Windows. Most likely it is just the way Cepstral voices are. I have never seen them be responsive enough for screen reader use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Holmes" <steve holmesgrown com>

I've used it some with speech dispatcher but notice a lot of
hesitation and even momentary drop-outs both in Orca and in speeckup
with speechd-up.  I have a fast enough machine with plenty memory (2
GB) but still the sluggishness.  Anything I can look for to make
Cepstral perform better? I suppose it's got to do with using the
generic module.  Too bad I can't come up with a direct module for
Cepstral like espeak.

Hi. Cepstral voices will work with ORca. If you run Debian or Ubuntu, you just buy and install a voice, apt-get install gnome-speech-swift, switch ORca to use your new voice, and enjoy. Cepstral Swift is supported with speech-dispatcher using the generic module. You can get a swift-generic.conf file from:
http://hittsjunk.net/swift-generic.conf


Hope this helps.

Hello, all,
Can anyone give me some pointers on (a) whether Cepstral voices work with Orca, and
(b) how to do it?

Thanks,
