i don't think you can use mbrola voices; setting mbrola voices will only produce data on the command line that, in turn, is a valid input for the mbrola application. at least that's how i understand it. i could never use an mbrola voice directly from espeak.

Re: "Say who is calling"
 

would be cool if mbrola voices were implemented in espeakcaller... i just hate this robot voice! so aggressive...

Re: "Say who is calling"
 

well, must be the french language then... sounds well in german.

no, actually it doesn't ;)
but it's a reasonable compromise.
i'm used to it as it's pretty much what i have in my S60 devices. as long as i understand it, it's OK.

somebody once told me mbrola sounds nicer, but is more difficult to understand at higher speeds. don't know if that's true...

If u click on a flag u have an audio preview.

Definitely sounds better than basic espeak voice. in french at least !

Re: "Say who is calling"
 

If espeak can't use mb/ voices then there are no female voices I see? At all?

Also, are there any for f-English in general and need porting/importing or is espeak devoid of female tones?

clooak, do you have "ignoring version from wrong domain"-messages in the log file of the application-manager?

Re: "Say who is calling"
 

new problem:

deleted .espeakcaller directory, then re-configured.... works in principle, but say wrong name! i call from my landline phone and espeakcaller says the name of a person that doesn't even have a phone number stored in the contacts database.

Re: "Say who is calling"
 

Great app! Been playing around with it since installing this morning...

Couple of issues (i've got v 0.4):

1/ If you put ' (Apostrophe) in the phrase in the unknown caller field (eg who's) it won't say the phrase (think this same as special characters bug?)

2/ Doesn't restart on reboot

3/ Caller name is said as the one previous (or possibly after?) in the phone contacts database (not previous as in alphabetical order but the record that was physically entered for storage either before or after) - this is the same issue as Benny1967 outlines above i think... I had a similar probelm with one of the versions of fMMS I installed - it was a known bug at the time so it might be worth contacting frals (fMMS author) to see how he fixed it....

Thanks for the app and keep up the good work :)

Re: "Say who is calling"
 

I found an interesting and funny bug today, got a call from my mother as i had the phone in my hands so i answered right away before it had a chance to say the callers name, after i hung up, it got into a loop saying the callers name all the time untill i had enough and restarted the phone.
The funny thing was that i was looking at my phone and it kept going "mom...mom...mom...mom...mom" lol

Hush little N900...
