I've fixed this now in the development version of eSpeak (version 1.46.16 or later) at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/test/latest.html
The fix is to the file: espeak-data/mbrola_ph/fr1_phtrans which is compiled from the source data file phsource/mbrola/fr1 (in the espeakedit download). This "fr1_phtrans" file can be used to replace the same file in eSpeak version 1.46.02 (in Ubuntu 12.04) and probably in earlier versions of eSpeak also. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948884 Title: mbrola is unable to pronounce the French word "les" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/espeak/+bug/948884/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
