Re: [orca-list] Orca speaks extra dot character



In Orca preferences, on the voice tab, language is set to en, and person is set to English America.

The system language is English U.S.

After having your feedback I'll make a test.

Best regards.

Alex,

I tried uncommenting "DefaultSymbolsPreprocessing 1" (mine was set to 0), with no change. It doesn't make a difference if the line is set 0 or 1.


Thanks,

Jeremy

Indeed Joanie, it's a synthesizer issue.

Be really careful, when following the below procedure, if you break speech-dispatcher, you won't be able to have speech anymore.

We could work-around the issue with this:
  • On root, edit the file /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf and uncomment the line "# DefaultSymbolsPreprocessing 1"
  • Uncomment means remove the character "#" at the beginning of the line
  • Save the file and then restart your computer

Best regards.

Hi Jeremy.

Orca does currently use a period to cause a pause to be inserted. Changing that is something I plan to do in my copious spare time (tm). :)

That said, speech synthesizers should respect your punctuation. At the punctuation level of "some" the final period should not be spoken.

As an experiment I did the following, without Orca running, in a terminal:

spd-say -m some "autogen.sh."
spd-say -m all "autogen.sh."

For the first command I heard "autogen dot sh". For the second command I heard "autogen dot sh dot". These are the expected results in both cases.

Do you get the same results? If not, that sounds to me like it might be either a bug in the speech synthesizer or something which might need to be tweaked in speech-dispatcher.

I have vague recollections of there being some potentially related changes in speech-dispatcher, so hoping Samuel might have an idea.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

This morning, I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 and noticed an odd issue. Whenever I land on a file name with an extension in nautilus, an extra dot is spoken after the extension.

For example, if I browse my local clone of Orca master, and land on autogen.sh, what I hear is "autogen dot sh dot."

This seams to only happen with file names, and not directories. My punctuation level is set to some. When using flat review, I don't see the extra dot.

Here is a debug file showing the issue.

I *think* that the problem starts on the line that reads:
16:32:00.728231 - SPEECH OUTPUT: 'autogen.sh.' voice=hyperlink{'established': False}


Thanks,

Jeremy
