<DIV>First some baseline testing stuff. Do not over test it in other words
in the beginning this is a rough cut so if we get into too many details or
changes it will just all become mud. We should only make a few changes at a
time, the other problem may become differences of opinion especially with
some of the voices which were never very stable because we never really
liked exactly what we had. This is an old version of DECtalk so occasionally
you will hear little homes at the end of things during what should be
silence. This is a mathematical problem called a limit cycle when we're
finished I'll add the new code I developed to squelch it. It took us years
to figure out a way to get rid of it perceptually we never could get rid of
it mathematically. Lastly I had to change the gain of voicing on the
modified voice that was sent without going into a long explanation which I
can later if people want the gains of the cascade vocal track have never
ever been constant it's a mathematical issue where you're constantly trying
to adjust them between quantization and overload and we've never been able
to guarantee them.</DIV>
<DIV>Lastly people can think about singing. The problem is that most SAPI
applications strip stuff out so I'm looking for suggestions of how we could
fool it and tell DECtalk that it was supposed to go into phonemic mode so it
can sing. I don't know what can and cannot get through the
various applications and while </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again don't put too much effort in two critical listening at this stage
as were not fine-tuning it just training 3n where targets are<BR><BR></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">Hello everyone the good news is I had a
generator the bad news is I had to use it. I'm having trouble with the
2008 free edition of visual C I can't run the debugger. But before I
uninstall and reinstall it I want to get this baseline out but it's a
little bit painful because I can't run the debugger so I'm doing it by
an archaic method. So it'll be out sometime today and then I'll reload
visual C. <BR><BR>
