Hi, I copied these instructions from the website. Is this it? Just run these commands and DecTalk will appear in speech dispatcher? Thanks for any help. apt-get install build-essential libasound2-dev libpulse-dev libgtk2.0-dev unzip git # Run all these commands in the /src directory... # Generates configure files autoreconf -si # Executes configure files ./configure # Builds DECtalk with ALL cores (remove -j for single core) make -j > On Feb 21, 2023, at 10:59 PM, Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I'm happy to be in the fediverse right now.

No, this is not the 5.x DECTalk that really sounds like crap. Have fun and enjoy, and I do hope they fix this license soon. It would be good to have another truly free speech synthesizer to play with, and this is definitely a huge step in that direction. > > ~Kyle > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
