and if you let the read variant at its default it sounds very similar to the
keynote gold speech synthesizer found in the braille note.

hi What's up Josh, the read variant sounds pretty cool. I think if you have
the pitch to 50 and the inflection set to 36, it sort of has an inflection that
sounds like eloquence. How about trying to make a variant that sounds like Paul
Dectalk?

Hello. I've just installed the read variant that was created using
espeak. I have to say I'm rather impressed with it. It almost sounds
like the old keynote gold synthesizers, that were in the franklin
language master and the old braille note classics. Good work.

Subject: [nvda-addons] Read variant
ok attached is the Read variant and the giant-robot variant. Now I
have a problem. next I plan on modifying well actually copying tunes
s1 c1 e1 and q1 to the bottom of the intonation file and renaming them
to s5 c5 and so on. Then I plan on playing with the values to give us
a completely new espeak with different reading intonation.
Now here comes the problem. to use this I'll put a tunes statement in
my Read variant like this:
tunes s5 c5 e5 q5
Then the Read variant will use those tunes defined in the intonation
file. but for others to use them they will have to also install the
espeakedit the espeak editor application go in and go to the compile
menu take my intonation file put it in the right folder and compile
the modded intonation file to use the voice plus the new intonations
when reading clauses. It would be much simpler if new tunes could be
defined on a per voice basis in the variant files themselves. But as
of now I don't know how to do this. in edition I would like to play
with klatt values in such a way to modify how the klatt part of espeak
sounds. but again I'm not sure where this is done and once done how to
recompile to test my results. wish there was a way to make small
changes to klatt itself and quickly test my results. then when I'm
happy compile and share.
Josh
