Hi,
I heard about espeak-ng and am considering installing it: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng
Do you know if phonemizer will work with espeak-ng?
regards, Andrew

According to this I hope so...
If not, it may be interesting (and simple) to add a espeak-ng backend to the phonemizer.

But I'm a bit busy those days...

With my attempt at espeak-ng installation it doesn't seem to work with phonemizer as it is, but I know you're busy -- so don't worry about it, espeak works fine as it is -- and thanks for your time in answering my questions!

Ok thank you for the idea! If you or someone in your team have knowledge in Python, we welcome a pull request with espeak-ng integration.

hi Mathieu,
I can try, but I'm not sure what the problem is, given that the error seems to relate to espeak.supported_languages() which calls espeak --voices, for which the output looks ok (nothing non-ascii like), unless I've misunderstood the error:

Hello Andrew,

I tried espeak-ng and its works out of the box for me with python3.

mathieu@deaftone:~/dev/espeak-ng$ python --version
Python 3.6.2 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.
mathieu@deaftone:~/dev/espeak-ng$ phonemize --version
phonemizer: 0.3.1
festival: Festival Speech Synthesis System: 2.4:release December 2014
eSpeak NG text-to-speech: 1.49.3-dev  Data at: /usr/share/espeak-ng-data
mathieu@deaftone:~/dev/espeak-ng$ echo 'hello world' | phonemize -l en-us
həloʊ wɜːld

But when using python2 I reproduce your bug:

mathieu@deaftone:~/dev/phonemizer$ phonemize --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mathieu/.miniconda3/envs/wordseg-py2/bin/phonemize", line 11, in <module>

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0101' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

Python2 has a wired unicode support, whereas it is native in python3... I'll try to find a bugfix for that.

Great, thanks Mathieu!
I'll switch to Python 3, in fact I prefer it and I can't remember why we're using Py2 for this project .. must be historic, but there's no need afaik :)
