Monet Update

Hi David,

Just thought I'd let the group know that Monet has been updated.  
Specifically, the main event view is completed so that all selected  
display parameters can be viewed and scrolled for all timings. As  
well, the mouse tracking (time and value) and double-click & drag  
scaling of the main event view is fully operational.

The latest source is on SVN.

I can send the latest 2.x nib to Marcello to update the GnuStep version.

Best,
dalmazio

Hi Dalmazio,

Thanks for the updates.

The latest version of Monet with an additional phone string text area is available in the source tree. Intonation support has also been added to the text to speech server. These are both currently only available in the source tree. I haven't yet made a new OS X gnuspeech binary distribution with these changes. I'll wait a bit on this and make some additional modifications first...

Very reasonable.  Thanks.

Good.  Things continue to progress.  Thanks.

I hope soon to be able to put up a usefully working version of "Synthesizer".  It won't have all the ancillary things like graphs of the nose & mouth frequency responses, graphs of the fricative & throat frequency characteristics or of the noise crossmix, but the basic tube and controls should all be working correctly.  Using Pthreads turned out to be less of a problem than I feared, and solved the problems of managing the producer-consumer situation with the tube synthesis, sound output and samples for analysis.  The waveguide performance is good, and I am just ironing out a few problems with the spectrograph display and doing some first cut testing of the whole system.

Warm regards and thanks again for your sterling efforts.

david

As a point of clarification, is the intonation support already included in the
GNUSpeechCLI executable that I compiled last week, or is it newly ported code
that can be expected to become available shortly? In the latter case, I will
gladly volunteer to recompile and test, once the code appears in the GNUStep
tree.

The version that I built has rising intonation, except for the last word
preceding punctuation or the end of the utterance.

GNUSpeechCLI has intonation support, but there may be some differences
between the OSX and GNUstep versions.

Marcelo

Thanks. Are there plans to merge the two source trees, and handle operating
system dependencies with the GNU tools, or whatever the OpenStep/GNUStep
equivalent is?

Having only one source tree would be very nice, but the code has been
split because of compilation problems in the GNUstep version. The
GNUstep version uses GNUstep make and the OSX version uses Xcode. A
merge is not planned, but it may be done in the future, since the
GNUstep build is now working.

But there are kinds of differences that would not be solved with a
unified tree. GnuSpeechCLI and GnuTTSServer (OSX) are not the same
program.

Yesterday I looked at the OSX version, and it seems that its
intonation is the same.

Regards,
Marcelo

True, although based on the discussion last week, I think the intention was to
investigate building the speech server daemon under GNU/Linux, with the
principal question being whether the distributed object APIs were available,
and sufficiently compatible, to make this possible.

My main concern about having two trees is the extra maintenance burden for the
developers, hence the question raised.

Thank you to all who are working on this project.

I believe the question raised about Distributed Objects came from  
Dalmazio.  As far as I know, the GNUStep DO implementation is complete  
and functional.  The only incompatibility I know of is on-the-wire  
binary compatibility, since the Mac OS X NSPortCoder binary layout is  
not documented.  This means a GNUStep DO implementation can't vend  
objects to Mac OS X, and vis-versa.   Also, if I recall correctly,  
GNUStep DO is only enabled between objects on the same machine by  
default -- you need to specifically enable support for objects vended  
across the network (a security feature), though I shouldn't think  
either feature (binary compatibility or network distributed objects)  
would be needed by a TTS server.
