Viz speech cutting off early

Hello,
I am having a problem with a vizact.speak - initally, we called the speech in question in the following fashion:
def speechsample():

action = vizact.speak(audiofile, threshold = self.sp_thresh,
scale = self.sp_scale, sync = self.sp_sync, morph = 'business02_f_highpoly_talk.CMF' )
female.add(action)
However, from time to time, the speech would get cut off (in this case, 'please continue' was clipped to 'please cont'). So, thinking that perhaps the speech was being interrupted from a delay caused by loading the .wav file immediately before using it, we changed to the following code:
At startup, we run
action = vizact.speak(audiofile, threshold = self.sp_thresh,
scale = self.sp_scale, sync = self.sp_sync, morph = 'business02_f_highpoly_talk.CMF' )
Then later, we use
def speechsample():
female.add(action)
Any idea what is going on?

Thanks,
Christian

I'm not sure what is causing this, but a solution could be to add a second of silence to the end of the audio file. This might give it enough time to play the speech all the way through.

That was actually the solution we ended up using. It appeared to work nicely.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi,

I have the same problem. But the speak sometimes cuts of in the middle of the text and not at the end. And sometimes the speak doesn 't start...

I don't know where the problem is....

this is my script:

def szenario(self):

self.female.state (91)
speech = vizact.speak (self.sound_path + 'Situation_6_EB_Svenja_bearbeitet.wav', threshold = .1, scale = 0.002, sync = True)
self.female.addAction (speech)
yield viztask.waitActionEnd (self.female,speech)
self.female.idlepose( -1)


Can anybody help me please?

Silvie

Is the result any different if you run the code outside of a task function? For example something like the following:

Code:
import viz
import vizact
viz.go()

female = viz.addAvatar('vcc_female.cfg',pos=[0,0,2])
speech = vizact.speak ('Situation_6_EB_Svenja_bearbeitet.wav', threshold = .1, scale = 0.002, sync = True)

vizact.onkeydown(' ',female.addAction,speech)

Hi Jeff,

yes, outside the task it works. So, I donīt understand why? Is is a yield problem?

Hi, its me again

I think I found the problem. I think it has something to do with an action I programmed bevor the avatar talks.

The avatar goes to the main view of the proband and stops 2 meters in front of him...so this is the whole code. When I comment it out, the speech works without interruption....so perhaps my code stops the speech???


def szenario(self):

#Avatar beginnt Handlung
self.female.execute (190, delay_in= 2, end =2.2)
self.female.stopCycle(275)
yield viztask.waitTime (2)

#Avatar geht auf Proband zu, bleibt 2,5 Meter vor ihm stehen
manager = vizproximity.Manager()
manager.setDebug(viz.OFF)

#Add main viewpoint as proximity target
target = vizproximity.Target(viz.MainView)
manager.addTarget(target)

sensor = vizproximity.addBoundingSphereSensor(self.female,s cale=2.0)
manager.addSensor(sensor)
run = vizact.walkTo([viz.MainView.getPosition()[0], 0, viz.MainView.getPosition()[2]], walkSpeed = 0.9, walkAnim =142, turnSpeed = 180)
self.female.addAction(run)

def EnterProximity(e):
self.female.endAction()
manager.onEnter(sensor,EnterProximity)

yield viztask.waitActionEnd (self.female, run)
yield viztask.waitTime (1)

#Sprechen
self.female.state (91)
speech = vizact.speak (self.sound_path + '1_KB.wav', threshold = .1, scale = 0.002, sync = True)
self.female.addAction (speech)
yield viztask.waitActionEnd (self.female,speech)
self.female.idlepose( -1)

I figuered it out!!!!

I had to remove the sensor after the avatar stops to walk....because when not I also stop the speech when I enter the sensor again (and this often happens)....
