Hi, for the alien thing, i've tried downloading the deb package, convert using alien but no go. it cannot installed the rpm. as for the espeak-ng and espeak are same or not, actually in 2006 untul 2014, the synthesizer is called espeak, but for some reason the person who developed this dont know where he goes, so a new person take over this project, rename the espeak to espeak-ng while providing updates and impprovements to it, such as adding more languages to this speech synthesizer. So, the new driver that i want, in fedora the package espeak-ng is available, but without the driver to communicate between speech-dispatcher and the espeak-ng, my screen reader wont know how to use that espeak-ng. In debian, there ar two, one the speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng that i gave the url before, and the other is the library for espeak-ng, libespeak-ng1, https://packages.debian.org/sid/libespeak-ng1 so, the espeak is the older version of the synthesizer, espeak-ng, stands for new generation, is newer and has many languages added. thanks for the help, hope to get this solved! :) 2017-04-14 13:07 GMT+08:00, poma <pomidorabelisima@xxxxxxxxx>: > On 14.04.2017 01:06, Amir-Trend Plus wrote: >> Hi, >> i am a new user here, using fedora 25 with a screen reader.
