Google Translate

[edit]

For languages not listed in the updated voices, Google Translate still uses eSpeak. For example, Afrikaans and Armenian are still using eSpeak, while Hungarian and Danish are using the updated (non-eSpeak) TTS voices. Rhdunn (talk) 09:35, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ESpeakNGESpeak – Several independent sources seem to establish the notability of eSpeak, but the only links referencing eSpeakNG seem to be from its developers. Languorrises (talk) 22:39, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that there has only ever been one project, with several changes in maintainers, homepage, names, etc., without significant phases of parallel development of separate projects with different paths: eSpeakNG seems to be the one and only continuation of Speak/eSpeak, approved by the original author.--Reseletti (talk) 12:12, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Quality comparison

[edit]

Generally, I expect the best Free Software programs to be of similar quality to good proprietary programs. But when I tried espeak-ng, I was disagreeably surprised by the poor quality of generated English speech. I remember hearing output from a Digital Equipment Corporation product in the mid-1980s that produced better-quality English speech (more natural-sounding) than espeak-ng produces in 2022 (on a vastly more powerful computer). I think some comment about this needs to be made in the article, maybe to the effect that this espeak-ng is not meant to be a production program. I'm unfamiliar with how Wikipedia deals with this, so leave it to others to consider. Insulation2 (talk) 18:22, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It’s difficult to say without more information about what the code is supposed to do and what’s happening when it’s executed. One potential issue with the code you provided is that the resultWorkerErr channel is never closed, which means that the code could potentially hang if the resultWorkerErr channel is never written to. This could happen if b.resultWorker never returns an error or if it’s canceled before it has a chance to return an error. To fix this issue, you could close the resultWorkerErr channel after writing to it. For example, you could add the following line of code after the line that sends the error on the channel: 106.219.184.135 (talk) 18:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Une nuit sans lune

[edit]

Un jeune homme rentrait chez lui à pied, traversant un vieux pont abandonné. Sous ses pieds, le bois grinçait sinistrement. Il s’arrêta net en entendant un chuchotement derrière lui :«Tu ne devrais pas être ici… ». 105.168.164.248 (talk) 07:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
