Small update to FliteGUI - new v1.2

I made a small update to FliteGUI which is included in the flite-ahi-exe.lha?archive on OS4Depot.
Flite is a speech synthesis engine for OS4.

Get it here!


FliteGUI 1.2 changes:

- Eliminated the limitation of no spaces being allowed in the input filepath.

Here Flite doesn't work at all. No sound. :-/

Hi Elwood have you also installed the Flite-ahi-libs from os4depot?

Edit: disregard that its meant for devs

@Elwood

Make sure that you have:

AUDIO in DEVS:DOSDrivers/
AHI-Handler in L:

Also which version of AHI-Handler (m68k or PPC)? I have tested with both and have no problems with either of them though.

Also check that AHI unit 0 is correctly set up in AHI prefs.

Have you tried running flite from the commandline (without the GUI)?

flite -t "insert text here"

I have looked at the crash log you sent me by e-mail but as the crash doesn't happen in either of the flite exes or ahi-handler it doesn't help much in narrowing down the problem.

Possibly one of the programs (flite?) is trashing some critical memory somewhere and this then later shows up as a kernel crash in Grim Reaper. Unfortunately this tells absolutely nothing about what code is actually causing the crash though.

@Elwood

Works ok here, you have pressed the say it button or checked the talk on enter option in the settings?

@ktadd
This brings back memories of the old say program of yesteryear or decade or two.

As others have suggested, make sure you have everything setup as outlined in the flite documentation, especially that the AUDIO: device is in the Devs: directory. Then try flite from the command line.

When setup properly, the only time I've seen flite not talk or crash is if you feed it control characters or a binary file.

That's the idea.

@AJS

libs are for developers only.

@others

I blacklisted the 68k ahi-handler and it worked.
But everytime I put the speed at 25 (example), it crashes.

The ahi-handler is 68k. I don't think a native version is available (the ahi.device is native).

Also in a shell, it always work with simple text.
If I do a "flite s:startup-sequence", it crashes at the second line. (same crash)

Thanks.
