javascript - Female voice in Speak.js -

we using speak.js library text speech purpose. , need implement female voice localization in this. calling speak function mespeak.speak('hello thomas"); not able make it's op in female voice. have observed need pass arg parameter not able pass too. can please guide how can female voice op using speak.js lib ?

many in advance

supposing you're talking mespeak.js:

download latest version @ http://www.masswerk.at/mespeak

make copy of voice-file (json) in language of choice , open in editor.

the voice-files of following structure:

{   "voice_id": "<filename>",   "dict_id":  "<filename>",   "dict":     "<base64-encoded octet stream>",   "voice":    "<base64-encoded octet stream>" } 

first, provide unique "voice_id" (e.g. "en-us-f", ids unix-filenames).

the encoded voice data text-file found in espeak's data-directory (see http://espeak.sourceforge.net/). while files represented base64-encoded octet-streams, may use text-string providing property "voice_encoding":

{   "voice_id": "<filename>",   "dict_id":  "<filename>",   "dict":     "<base64-encoded octet stream>",   "voice":    "<text-string>",   "voice_encoding": "text" } 

now, referring espeak-data , espeak-docs voices, may find following text voice "en-us":

// moving towards english name english-us language en-us 2 language en-r language en 3 gender male [and more] 

by removing comment in first line, editing name (we want unique) , changing gender, you'll arrive at:

name english-us-f language en-us 2 language en-r language en 3 gender female 

replace line-breaks "\n" valid json-string:

"name english-us-f\nlanguage en-us 2\nlanguage en-r\nlanguage en 3\ngender female" 

and use value of property "voice". save file , load mespeak.

you may fine-tune voice according espeak-docs: http://espeak.sourceforge.net/voices.html

(an alternate way involve saving plain espeak-voice file , encoding content base64-string , using value "voice". in case not set "voice_encoding" property. using plain-text might more suitable testing.)

hope helps (it won't easier this).

n.l.

edit: please mind malformed voice-string cause error in (m)espeak. (espeak not gracious on syntax errors, throw "type-error" – handled console-log mespeak. keep in mind core of mespeak emscripten-generated port of espeak. doesn't handle voice-files better.)
