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! :)

Hi,
i am a new user here, using fedora 25 with a screen reader. Since i
use the assistive technology, i need to use a package, not one i
think, maybe two, packages from debian. The first one, adds support
for the new voice available on fedora, called, espeak-ng. It needs a
driver to communicate with my speech-dispatcher, an interface that
will provide speech using the synthesizer. Unfortunately, the driver
is not availablne in .rpm, but in debian it is available. Both debian
and rpm are using the 0.86 version of this app, so i think it is not
an issue of version. I tried alien and when installing, it said
conflict with file. I also cannot find the source package for this.
The package i mean is, speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng, available from
this link,
https://packages.debian.org/sid/main/speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng
if anyone can convert it to rpm and i can install it, it will be great!

Description: Speech Dispatcher: Espeak-ng output module
Speech Dispatcher provides a device independent layer for speech
synthesis.
It supports various software and hardware speech synthesizers as
backends and provides a generic layer for synthesizing speech and
playing back PCM data via those different backends to applications.
.
Various high level concepts like enqueueing vs. interrupting speech and
application specific user configurations are implemented in a device
independent way, therefore freeing the application programmer from
having to yet again reinvent the wheel.
.
This package contains the output module for the espeak-ng speech
synthesizer.

This package contains the espeak output module for Speech Dispatcher.
/etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak.conf

Are these two essentially the same module/driver?
Success! I could install espeak-ng in Fedora 25 !!
