Re: [gnuspeech-contact] GNUstep version

[David Hill]

Hi Marcello,

That is excellent news!  Many thanks for your well-focussed and  
successful effort.  I shall look forward to firing it up at my end  
and trying it.  It will be good to deal with the audio output more  
effectively at some point in the future but presumably that could be  
handled -- as an interim measure -- by simply piping the output to  
play?  Then there's the need for a stripped version to provide a  
daemon to handle speech output as a service -- what Dalmazio has just  
done for the OS X version.

A more complete parser is also a priority.  That is something I will  
be discussing with Dalmazio, as I have some background material on  
the original parser & dictionary lookup, if it turns out to be needed  
(there's all the stuff in the repository that is relevant in  
connection with the original NeXT implementation).

I hope to put a preliminary version of OS X "Synthesizer" up on the  
repository shortly.  "Synthesizer" allows those interested to  
interact with the tube model directly (not producing speech of  
course) and see spectra of the sounds produced and play with all the  
parameters manually.  It is useful as a way of becoming familiar with  
the tube's behaviour, but more importantly, it provides a tool for  
helping to create the tube configurations needed for the sounds of  
arbitrary languages.

As you know, there's a "Synthesizer" manual on my university web  
site: http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~hill under "Published papers" in  
Section E.  There's also a manual for "Monet" as well plus other  
useful stuff, of course.

Thanks again for your hard work.

Warm regards.
