Strange lengthening of the vowels of some utterances in 1.0(9) when using Spanish (Spain) #30

This might be a eSpeak NG bug, but steps are as follows:

  1. Add Spanish (Spain) to the VoiceOver rotor.
  2. Turn on VoiceOver and select that language.
  3. Open the espeak NG app, go to VoiceOver languages and focus "Arabic (South Arabia).

The last vowel should definitely not be that long. Contrast with 1.0(8).

I also can hear longer phoneme at the end of some phrases.

Does it reproduces within app synthesis and espeak-ng CLI?

Not with in-app synthesis, I haven't tested with command line. Strangely, the "Arabic (Somalia)" string, when flicking left and right, sometimes gets lengthened but not others. (This also works when focusing it several times).

Looks like #7 was a Hydra-bug... Fix the one, grow a three. Hmm, as I love.

In case it is useful, the rate I'm using is 750 wpm (I've been told that eSpeak limits the rate which it can be set to with SSML to that). VoiceOver's rate is at 75%, but setting it to something above that results in no change.

Please check iOS 1.0-11 and macOS 1.0-6

I think this got worse. I was using iOS 1.0(8) so could be misremembering, but it seems more final sounds get lengthened now
