Thank you.  I will update my demo and wait for the fix.

Using Beatrice voice. Here are some examples.  XCode 4.6, SDK 6.1, IPad 6.1 simulator

Words in a sentence that pop are below in [bold]. Words that do a quieter click are in [italic]

[Hello], this is Beatrice

One fine evening a young princess [put] on her bonnet and clogs, and went out to take a walk [by] herself in a wood; and when she came to a cool [spring] of water with a [rose] in the middle of it, she sat herself down to rest a while. Now she had a golden ball in her hand, which was [her] favourite plaything; and she was always tossing it [up] into the air, and catching it again as it fell.

The same text in Elliott voice sounds much better. I think I only noticed one click in the last sentence…

…and she [was] always tossing it up into the air, and catching it again as it fell.

Thanks

I downloaded the NeatSpeechDemo from a link in the politepix order confirmation email (from 4th April). Opening up the download it says NeatSpeech version 1.1 in the license agreement.

Is that the current version?

Hi Halle

Thanks for your help.  Starting from scratch did fix it.

Now my barebones app is working, I noticed the UK voices often pop loudly (a bit like when you tap a microphone) and they are quite sibilant.  Is that just because it’s on the simulator?

The recorded examples on the NeatSpeech webpage don’t pop or sound as “essy” so is it safe to assume they will sound better on a real iPad?

Thanks, Halle.

I am using the OpenEarsSampleApp.  It was previously speaking with the Slt voice.

I have followed the tutorial again and completed each step modifying the openEarsSampleApp.  I checked the voices frameworks and Voices/VoiceData all seem ok.

I still get the same error:
Error: HTS_GStreamSet_create: The number of streams should be 2 or 3.
sayWithNeatSpeech:withVoice: seems to cause it.  The log says “Flite has started speaking” then the error is logged immediately after that.
If am sure it should work, as the tutorial steps are very simple really.  Could there be something else in my set up or the simulator that I need to change?  I am using XCode 4.6 and have tried iPad 6.1 simulator and iphone 6.1 simulator.  When using 5.1 simulator no audio works at all (but that I am told is a bug in that version of the simulator)…

Cheers

Phil
