This is to inform anyone using Arch Linux who accesses the AUR that I am maintaining package builds for SVox Pico and for the development version of eSpeak. The SVox Pico build can be found at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47073 and the latest eSpeak test build, currently 1.44.40 at the time of this post can be found at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47163 Or if you use an AUR helper, just look for espeak-test and svox-pico-git. The espeak-test package will seamlessly replace the espeak package currently on your system, and if you use speech-dispatcher-git, it can be rebuilt to include SVox Pico support once svox-pico-git has been built and installed. I would appreciate any feedback on the package builds, but I recommend that bugs in the speech engines themselves be reported upstream. Thanks for any comments, suggestions and/or votes. ~Kyle
