I find that the speech output from speechd-up becomes split up when loading programs, or loading files. It may split words in half, e.g. "starting" may become "st arting". Times I notice this particularly are, when it first loads in boot-up, loading cone, opening e-mails in cone, when using emerge and many other situations. I use festival as the synthesiser, but I have tried it with flite. I have checked it is not speakup by trying an apollo synthesiser and speech seems to always be OK with that. I don't think it is speech-dispatcher because if a word is split and there is an "st" on its own it says "street", so the example above would be said as "street arting". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I do have BRLTTY running, but I think it was happening before I installed BRLTTY, is even noticeable before login.
if youu use festival by itself (not though speechd-up), do you notice this problem still?
This problem can be resolved by changing the priority of speechd-up by starting it with nice -n 5 /usr/bin/speechd_up which can be put in the start up script for speechd-up.
do you mean -5? I'll make an option for it in the conf.d file
Created an attachment (id=66416) [edit] Launch speechd-up init script with nice -n -5 Nothing else changed in the ebuild itself.
Created an attachment (id=66487) [edit] Same script as above: fixed header Fixed wrong header...
I have made the nice level configurable in 0.3-r1. You can change it by editing /etc/conf.d/speechd-up after you upgrade. Please comment to this bug and let me know if this does not work for you.
I am going to go ahead and close this bug, but please do not hesitate to re-open it if the problem continues.
