HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

After installing a Cepstral voice (e.g. Allison) and registering the voice, the audio will skip and stutter at the beginning of each sentence. To fix this:

  1. Run winecfg
  2. In the Applications tab, press the "Add application..." button
  3. Browse for swifttalker (c:\\program files\\cepstral\\bin\\swifttalker.exe)
  4. Select the swifttalker application in the list
  5. Set the "Windows Version" combo to a 9x version of Windows, e.g. "Windows 98"
NOTE: This is fixed in later versions of wine (e.g. 1.1.13), but pulseaudio can cause other issues - see the notes for version 5.1.
