Speedy deletion nomination of Neospeech

edit

Hello Tvo05,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Neospeech for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TRL (talk) 02:31, 20 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi, you changed the Neospeech demo link on Chinese speech synthesis to a link that gives me a "404 not found" error. Can you double-check it? I'd like to confirm that the demo now accepts pinyin; I couldn't get it to do that before. Thanks. Silas S. Brown (email, talk) 19:29, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi, there. Yes. neospeech.com is the right link. The demo has accepted pinyin.Tvo05 (talk) 22:59, 22 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately I still can't get Pinyin to work. I tried "zhè shì ge kǎoyàn" (this is a test); it should sound the same as 这是个考验 but it doesn't, instead it just reads out some of the letters. I also tried writing in tone numbers (zhe4 shi4 ge kao3yan4) but it just read out the numbers as Chinese numbers. Writing pinyin without tones is not much help either. How exactly did you get pinyin to work? Did you have to type some kind of markup code around it? Silas S. Brown (email, talk) 16:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Silas, they use VTML(vtml_phoneme), which is a similar version of CSSML. For example, <vtml_phoneme alphabet="x-pinyin" ph="da4fu1">大夫</vtml_phoneme>. Hope this helps.Tvo05 (talk) 17:06, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, this is useful! Silas S. Brown (email, talk) 20:55, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Removing AfD template

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Voicetext markup language. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete.
