Re: Slint on the bare metal!

Correction: I should have written:
1. If running espeakup
instead of:
1. If running speakup

To clarify, speakup is a kernel driver used by both espeakup and speechd-up,
used in conjunction with other software, and voices:
1. By espeakup with the espeak-ng TTS and associated voices
2. By speechd-up with any TTS accessed through speech-dispatcher
and associated voices

speakup can also be used directly by a hard synthesizer, without
additional application.

Hi Brandt,

1. If running speakup (not-speechd-up), run
list-espeak-ng-voices
and then set the chosen voice as root in:
/etc/espeakup.conf

2. If running speechd-up
set the language as root in:
/etc/speechd-up.conf
and the chosen synthesizer in:
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd-up.conf

spd-list tells what's available as synthesizers and voices.

Unfortunately it's not yet possible to set the voice for speechd-up directly, unless you use the voxin synthesizer and a voice distributed by oralux. Then
the setting is done in:
/opt/oralux/voxin/share/conf/voxin.ini

Cheers,
Didier

PS I have made available some scripts that I have written for Slint in:
https://github.com/DidierSpaier/slint-scripts

They can be used in other distributions, in some cases after adaptation.
I will add their descriptions in the README.

Hi all,


I unexpectedly had the use of a set of working eyes for a little while yesterday; secure boot was turned off, and the key to bring up the boot menu was found.


As a result of this, Windows got removed from this machine, and as the subject states, Slint took it's place.


This machine runs like a dream, however, I did everything correctly and the en-us voice used by default by my espeakup just doesn't want to go the hell away!


As root, I did the following:

#speak-with speechd-up

::This in effect kills espeakup which is needed for the following

#espeakup default-voice=en-gb

::This, in theory should set the voice used to the brittish one.

#speak-with espeakup

::Does switch you back to espeakup.

#exit


If anyone knows what's going on here, please, please, help! My hearing is already not the best in the world, I don't need the bad US voice to make things worse.
