@Tamasg Yay, I'm glad the woilds being nice to you today. You're awesome!! Do ye know that?
@Tamasg Also, have a manic speechbox bug I need to figure out how works. It's a vowel bug. Here's a speechbird. yee yee yee yee yee yee yee yee yee yee?

@danestange ha. wait waht bug there? xD It's just reading the E's separate with a question mark? Unless that one isn't a bug in the NVDA driver but the Mac OS app? hmm.

@Tamasg It isn't saying the y phoneme, it's says e with a gap over and over, like do you do you do you, same bugly. Do you yee or yee ya ye ya.

@danestange oh yeah definitely not the NVDA add-on! it's able to say the "E"'s separately as straight E sounds, ha. interesting one!

@danestange ok. on my iPhone, no matter how many E's I type in, it always just says like 4 times. E-e-e-e. It's definitely not behaving the same on this one across them, unless VoiceOver is doing something to our text to shorten the number of E's. Very interesting one. I wonder if you tried with another 3rd-party engine, if it works. That would narrow down whether it's VoiceOver messing with us or the way we parse the text itself.

@Tamasg The latest builds sound a bit more jumpy like a bouncing ball or magnet's that squeak when togetherised when making some voicings like speechplayer did where it didn't before. The yee yo ye yo does that, there again I use clasic pitchmode. The d sound also seems to have been speechplayerised at certain pitches where it didn't before, but these are probably things you know. Did you know I use this thing as my main synth on everything? I really, oh you got it to say it right rather than spaced out. Speechplayer gets a little too stoned.

@Tamasg The bug happens with the words, do you? It spaces out and says do hoo without the h. Do you do you do you do you do you? Do ya oh ya ye ye ye ya. All spaced and funny. It's nothing too serious it's just when fastly reading it it hard to catch the word because the vowel gets eaten.

@danestange yep, and only in classic pitch too! How interesting. Like, switch to Espeak style and suddenly its not eaten. This definitely feels like a bug specifically with classic pitch active! Very great find on your part.

@Tamasg Do you know what's also crazy? It's being inconsistant and hard to track. Earlier, it was spacing on, ye ye ye ye? It did it at the end there. When it says do you, screw you, that does it too, screw oo? Do oo? True you, hmm. Let's see. Do I, do e, do o? nope. But do you causes it like screw you does. Oo you, ooyou rather than oo you.

@danestange hmm. This is a formant-similarity masking problem. The fix in boundary_smoothing.cpp line 278 would be simple — exempt
semivowels from high-rate fade capping just like tied diphthongs. That's actually not a bad thing because I think it's caused by the crazy spikes happening more rapidly with classic pitch mode, which is why you don't hear it on "do i" but hear it on "do you." Very much a gem of a find!
