Hi mark,
I did not follow this thread, but if you use espeakup, you can specify the
language when you start espeakup.
espeakup -Ven or whatever language you want.
In some distributions, you may even have an espeakup file in
/etc/default/espeakup where you can set it.
HTH, Willem

Hi Mark, I haven't been following espeak-NG development, but I guess it's possible that
those files are now obsolete and you have to use command-line arguments to set the voice.
So have you tried this command: espeak -ven-us "hello from America"
If that works and you want to use it in screen readers etc, I expect the best way would
be to move your real espeak binary to a safe place and create a script called espeak that
does something like
#!/bin/bash
espeak -ven-us $@
then save that as /usr/local/bin/espeak and chmod +x it. I'm assuming you're on a
GNU/Linux or Unix machine; I wouldn't know how to do it on Windows but you might get
somewhere with batch files. And the above script won't help if the screen reader is
using the shared library version of eSpeak.
