Hi, mostly for James:
One of the korean translators found a database of over 25000 Hanja (Chinese
chars used in Korea) ) characters online. After downloading the file (which
contains both spoken word name and its descriptions), he encountered a
problem with possible buffering issue or may have hit the limit on number of
symbols/chars that can be held in symbols.dic and character_descriptions.dic
9note that we're using a dev version of eSpeak and added Korean voices and
pronunciation files).
Here's his procedure (from a post from Korean NvDA users forum on Facebook):
1. Opened symbols.dic to insert Hanja symbols and its Korean pronunciation.
2. Insert a small number of chars (perhaps less than 20) in the dictionary,
save it and apply it into NVDA.
3. Reopen the symbols file and insert a larger number of characters, save it
and apply the newly modified symbols file in NVDA. So far, this works fine.
4. Open the symbols file again and insert hundreds of characters at once,
save the symbols file and apply modification to NVDA. When this happens,
eSpeak (Korean voice) would have hard time working with newly added Hanja
characters and/or previously entered characters would not be spoken at all
with error beep while NVDA is running.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 in character_descriptions.dic file. He plans to
duplicate this issue and, if possible, grab the log file and post it on FB;
I plan to forward to log to you to see if it is NVDA related, eSpeak
related, both or none of these two.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Joseph
