Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 14:47:33 -0400 Over the past few days I've done a lot of work fixing up warts relating to generating non-English voice files. Things have progressed to the point where all the build infrastructure can now automatically generate (and present for download) multiple voice files, with each voice having its own language, tts engine, and tts options specified. (Why multiple voices per language? Consider different voice genders or regional pronunciations, or in a more extreme example, China has multiple distinct spoken languages that share a common script!) So, I just have to flip a switch and all languages with >= 95% string coverage [1] will get voices automagically generated every evening, using the espeak-ng engine's default voice for that language. There is probably no downside to turning this stuff on, but before I do so I would appreciate it if folks who speak/understand these languages can do a quick sanity-check to make sure the voices are usable and useful. Additionally, this change also includes a switch the nightly build's English voice from Festival to espeak-ng, mostly due to the latter being much faster at runtime. I can revert this back to festival if anyone feels strongly enough about it. Feedback appreciated! Meanwhile, back to the bit mines...
