entire file. I realize this is a rough draft. How was the test.wav generated?
While I could understand weather.wav completely, test.wav is indecipherable to
my ears. Just my feedback. Thanks for all of your hard work, Ed. Again,
although weather.wav is only a rough draft, it sounds great in my
opinion.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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>
