RE: How to use speech synthesis in Hebrew ?

Hi,
There's no speech synthesizer for Hebrew for linux.
Espeak doesn't have the Hebrew support, as the problem is in the fact, that
Hebrew is written with only consonants.
How do you plan to see where vocal / wowel should be placed in a word?
Vocalizer is planned as a beta version in July.

Subject: How to use speech synthesis in Hebrew ?

Hello all,

I'm helping a blind person to use his computer and he speaks Hebrew. I'm
looking for him to find an Hebrew voice to read his language.

Are you aware of such voice and how to use it with Speech Dispatcher ?

I've found mbrola voices in Hebrew but those voices don't work through
Speech Dispatcher because Espeak or Espeak NG don't map them.

I've tried this command to test (I'm sorry but I don't know Hebrew
sentence):
> echo 'I do a test' | espeak-ng -v mb-hb1 --stdin --pho

And I obtain:
> Error: The specified espeak-ng voice does not exist.

Best regards,
Alex.
