The eSpeak editor can display a number of frame-sequencies in tabbed windows. Each frame can contain a short-time frequency spectrum, covering the period of one cycle at the sound’s pitch. Frames can also show:
Enter text in the top left text window. Click the Translate button to see the phonetic transcription in the text window below. Then click the Speak button to speak the text and show the results in the Prosody tab, if that is open.
If changes are made in the Prosody tab, then clicking Speak will speak the modified prosody while Translate will revert to the default prosody settings for the text.
To enter phonetic symbols (Kirschenbaum encoding) in the top left text window, enclose them within .
The “Spect” tab in the left panel of the eSpeak editor shows information about the currently selected frame and sequence.
