Codepage problem with Balabolka(?)

oscareczek · Post by **oscareczek** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:48 am

Devuan Stable, Wine 5.0.3 from Wine repo + winetricks speechsdk, LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8
I use balcon from Balabolka to generate sound files from SAPI5 voices. One of the voices is called Penélope and I have a lot of trouble making it to work.
Normally, I make voices by a command (example shows Microsoft Sam, just to show you don't need to type full name):

Code: Select all

wine balcon -f text.txt -enc utf8 -n Sam -w filename.wav

However, with Penélope, I get an error:

Code: Select all

Error: file saving error (OLE error 8004503A)

"wine balcon -l" shows this voice as IVONA 2 PenÚlope, but choosing this voice results in:

Code: Select all

Error: voice not selected

LANG=es_US.UTF-8 doesn't change anything
When I set LANG=es_US (because that's the language of this voice), it's shown as IVONA 2 Pen<0xFFFD>lope, character for é in CP1252 is E9, so I tried typing both Penélope and Pen\351lope, but again, voice not selected.
Changing LC_CTYPE gets the same result as changing LANG. Log doesn't show any difference between Penélope and and any other voice.
While changing the name in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\name of voice\Attributes helps in choosing the voice, it can't be done, because I get a different error, possibly relating to being unable to find a voice:

What else can I do?

Does the voice work in an other program?

Code: Select all

cd .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft\ Speech\ SDK\ 5.1/Bin
wine TTSApp.exe

If this works, try Penélope (even if it says something else) in Balcon:

Code: Select all

wine cmd

Microsoft Windows 5.1.2600

It works if I invoke it with SAPI5 tag.

Does it work if you use LANG=C with the -id "0x540A" option?

I have two voices in Spanish (US) and `balcon -id "0x540A" -m` gets me the male one. I can't see any option to specify gender, unfortunately.

jkfloris · Post by **jkfloris** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:25 pm

Maybe: balcon -n "IVONA 2 Pen" -m

oscareczek · Post by **oscareczek** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:35 pm

When I saw this reply I thought "well, it will probably work, it's ugly, but what can you do" and while it correctly shows the voice:

Code: Select all

Name: IVONA 2 PenÚlope
Description: IVONA 2 PenÚlope - hiszpa˝ski ameryka˝ski g│os ┐e˝ski [22kHz]
Vendor: IVONA Software Sp. z o. o.
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Language: 
Number of channels: 1
Samples per second: 22050
Bits per sample: 16

or with LANG=es_US.UTF-8:

Code: Select all

Name: IVONA 2 PenÚlope
Description: IVONA 2 PenÚlope - hiszpanski amerykanski glos zenski [22kHz]
Vendor: IVONA Software Sp. z o. o.
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Language: 
Number of channels: 1
Samples per second: 22050
Bits per sample: 16

…it still triggers this error while trying to save:

Code: Select all

Error: file saving error (OLE error 8004503A)

even though I only use ASCII in the entire command and all the paths. This problem doesn't happen in any voice whose name is ASCII (description doesn't seem to matter, all of the non-ASCII characters appear in other voices and they work fine). I wish I could share a longer log, but it's the only difference from the command made with the voice that works.

oscareczek · Post by **oscareczek** » Sun Dec 27, 2020 4:10 pm

Update: I didn't notice before, but apparently Miguel (which is es_US male voice) throws the exact same error, so the problem isn't about the name itself.

oscareczek · Post by **oscareczek** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 4:03 pm

Another update: the issue is whatever value is stored in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\name of voice\Attributes\Language.
If it's set to 540a (es-US) or 452 (cy-GB), the program freaks out. As you can see in a post from 20th December, the Language field is empty, because balcon was unable to get a name of a language with these codes.
With es-US, there's an easy fix: just change this value to c0a (es-ES), the differences are probably non-existent. I still don't understand why I can't launch it without this modification, jkfloris' log clearly shows it shouldn't be a problem, his balcon -m also didn't show the language name.
That's not the case with Welsh voices, though, because the only difference between Welsh and Welsh English voice in registry is the Language value.
