It was... I found that I have the same problem with distorted
audio, but I couldn't find the relevant message. Richard, AJ7E On 7/25/2020 8:13 PM, Bob740 wrote:

What was the solution? I am using a script called speaktime. It is installed in the /home/irlp/features/speaktime directory. The audio files are in the /home/irlp/features/speaktime/audio directory. When played they sound scratchy. The .wav files were updated in November, 2019. I don't know how they got updated, but I think that's when the problem started. The .ul files haven't been updated since 2008. I'm a novice in this area so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Bob KE0SDV 7268

Send me (off list) a ZIP of your existing scratchy WAVs, or a list of filenames and what they SHOULD say, and I'll send you back a replacement ZIP of nice fresh Alexa-ish ones.

I think the solution was to replace the files. but I didn't pay
much attention to it. I need to fix mine also. Hopefully someone
has the answer. Richard, AJ7E On 7/27/2020 11:38 AM, Bob740 wrote:

I contacted Dave Parks WB8ODF and downloaded his speaktime script from his web site. Works great! It has both American male and Australian female voices. I'll never know why the original speaktime script had scratchy sounding audio but it doesn't matter any more.

The problem with this (and many other) scripts written years ago is that the program sox which takes the files as .ul files and pastes them together to make a single, congruent wav file to play changed its arguments, and deprecated and removed the options used.

A new speaktime was written and posted 3 years ago, but it seems to be lost in the groups.io transition. Any program that uses sox needs to be updated if the operating system is updated. David Cameron VE7LTD
