Flite speed and pitch increase after update.
Hi everyone. We upgraded Freeswitch on the 30th of December, using the git branch revision from the 28th of December. However, while the conference features improved, the flite package has had its pitch and rate increased for all tts speech. We are using the mod_tts module in our conferences, and it now sounds extrordinarily sped up and pitched up, similar to what one would consider a chipmunk sound. I've gone through the mod_tts sources, the flite sources, the modules directory, the autoload_modules directory, the configs for the conference and flite, and I can't find anywhere how to change the pitch and rate of the synthesizer. I've tried tts-rate and tts-pitch, etc, to no affect. I've also tried google, and noone else seems to be dealing with this strangeness. We are all using soft-phones or pots to sip devices, so the speech output is quite important. Any help you all can provide would be truly be appreciated. Brandon McGinty-Carroll
Perhaps related: while in the old version, imo, "Kal" sounded the best.. on the box I just built kal sounds like a chipmunk and the rest sound normal ("rms" sounded decent). -Avi On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 12:07 AM, Brandon McGinty <brandon.mcginty@gmail.com>wrote:
