xyz123abc Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:36 PM Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:36 PM could you please tell me if this recording is clear? It comes from neospeech hui16 voice. (I know the word because I typed it. But the sound output (attachment) doesn't quite sound as I would expect. I use this resource (tts voice) while building my flashcards) TEXT.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechKatz Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:49 PM Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 05:49 PM Sounds like 绿色, isn't very clear though. Why don't you use real recordings from forvo or Chinese pod glossary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted November 4, 2014 at 06:19 PM Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 06:19 PM I think it means "green colour". But it seems that the "l" in "lv" is missing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyz123abc Posted November 4, 2014 at 08:29 PM Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 08:29 PM yep, the text is 绿色 You got it right, I assume it is clear enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted November 4, 2014 at 10:29 PM Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 10:29 PM Is neospeech hui16 the same one that you can get on pleco? Anyway, in this particular case, I wouldn't say there's a problem with the “ü” sound, more with the fact “色” is coming out with a neutral tone rather than a fourth tone. Also the fourth tone of “绿” doesn't seem to go down as far as it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyz123abc Posted November 4, 2014 at 10:51 PM Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 at 10:51 PM It's a voice like these ones http://www.nextup.com/TextAloud/SpeechEngine/voices.html#naturalvoices only from a different company http://www.neospeech.com/products.aspx when you hear it once, it sounds like 绿色 as it should, except there is a bug in the beggining that covers the "l" sound. BUT if I play it in a loop, my brain eventually hears it CLEARLY say "pizza", no kidding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted November 5, 2014 at 10:22 AM Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 at 10:22 AM She says ǜse, while you probably want lǜsè 绿色. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
陳德聰 Posted November 5, 2014 at 05:04 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 at 05:04 PM Mm... I actually thought the first syllable sounded really weird and the 色 sounded normal. If you listen to just the second syllable, it's clear and correct. If you listen to them together, the first syllable is intensely odd.
