Re: [orca-list] Interesting text to speech announcement

[Kyle <kyle free2 ml>]

Looks like I have it mostly working. I rebuilt the server with Ubuntu 
22.04 and the package seems to work as expected. I tried Afrikaans, 
Bengali and Greek, which I knew were giving me the espeak-ng error, and 
they are now speaking the default sample text. Hausa, Javanese, Telugu 
and Yoruba are still not speaking, but this seems due to the fact that 
they apparently forgot to package the epitran phonemizer. I get "file 
not found" errors when trying to speak those languages, and the files, 
in fact the whole /usr/lib/mycroft/mimic3/epitran directory, is missing. 
This time it's not there and reported missing, it really is missing. 
Hopefully they will fix this in a future release.

is now open for business, and the voices are all where I want them to 
be, with a large percentage of the available languages speaking at least 
their sample text.
