HPR Community News.

This is a monthly show for, and by the HPR community.

A rotating team of volunteers provide a summary of the months shows, as well as cover any news or discussions of note. If you have topics that you want to make about a given show, then please leave a comment and we will read it out.

This is a reserved slot scheduled for the first Monday of the month. You are invited to participate, but participants are expected to have listened to all the shows. It is recorded during the last week of each month, usually on the Friday before the first Monday of the Month using Mumble. We can adapt to suit.

Please contact the janitors if you are interested in participating, or if you have any news or announcements for inclusion.

We didn't have time to tackle the discussion in last months community news so today we dedicate an entire show to reading out all the comments relating to the HPR Branding.

TTS

I made a small error in my comment to the subject about branding. I said the bit between TTS and raucaus music was an advert for AHH, but of course it is for archive.org.

Now, I like the TTS. It gives me the chance to decide early whether to carry on listening, or press delete and go to sleep.

But the current TTS engine/settings used are boring. She sounds like a woman who has been awake for a week continuously. No prosody, no intonation. eSpeak is much better IMHO.

It could also speak faster for me personally, a lot faster.

But I know all you photon-dependent types won't agree ;-)

The TTS voice

I like very much the outro voice you are using, can you tell me what you use to generate it ? I found HPR just a short time ago and have been enjoying very much listening to all the shows. Have even started thinking about answering the call and recording an intro myself .. not sure 100% yet.

keep up all the great work thanks for your time
