If you need it it may be possible to use the file ar_dict from espeak-ng-1.49-1 in espeak-1.48, at least this can be tried. About new users of Linux, I am not sure to have a good answer. Feel free to ask more questions, I will be glad to answer. Greetings, Didier > 2017-12-25 18:49 GMT+08:00, Linux for blind general discussion > <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx>: >> No, it isn't like debian.
