今早從街上打回再試，基本上非常清晰。

My test result is the other way round.  The TTS in English is better while Chinese is garbled.

I doubt I don't have appropriate codec installed.  Do you have any ideas which codec should I use for the conversion.  Also, have you installed *.wav in the system?

alang

我想這與 codec 沒有直接的關係，至少使用 ulaw/alaw 一定可以工作，另外也不需安裝任何語音檔 *.wav，因為這是利用 stdin 方式，類似播放語音串流方式。

    或者是網絡的問題，我現在只設定普通話，但效果好好。昨晚試英文就不堪入耳，比OBi AA 還差

謝謝Alang 師兄回覆，因為昨晚半夜安裝測試，可能有遺漏也說不定。稍後再查找原因。

    OBi AA 英文現在的確好一些，GoogleTTS 英文稍遜，GoogleTTS 中文暫時很差，可能是我本身的問題，要再測試才能作比較。

alang

你可以先到這裡，聽聽它的語調，其實我也不喜歡它的語調，不過免費的中文 TTS 實在很難見，就湊合著用了。

終於成功地聽到 Google TTS  的中文了，還不錯嘛，可以接受啊!
我把extension.conf 在Gnome 上以UTF-8 儲存，就可以聽到了。Default 好像是 western 8859 ISO之類的設置，所以一直不成功也沒有留意。而且之前多數以WinSCP 修改及儲存APL所寫的dial plan，所以....

    You may need to create a special .conf file to handle this. E.g. I use googletts.conf and use include => googletts.conf in the extensions.conf

我也是這樣想。就跟其它一些Macro 都想這樣做。

    You ought to do this for better file and scripts management

I have splitted extensions.conf into several configuration files for easy managements now.  It runs without problem.
