Hi, I'm also interested in this question. AFAIC, to be able to use other voices than ESpeak, you need a piece of software called Speechd-up. However, last year (2011) when I asked whether it was available for Gentoo users, it got an answer that it was broken. I asked recently whether it's still broken, with no answer til now. I'd also like to use it, in case it's functional. Cheers Cleverson Em 16/09/2012 16:34, Rob Hudson escreveu: > I'm trying to get speakup working with speech-dispatcehr and voxin.

I also noticed that, using the say tool in voxin's source tree, I have to do aoss ./say in order for the "hello world" message to be spoken. Could this be the problem? > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >
