Re: How Can I Switch Synthesizers on the Fly?

I'm using raspberrypi's latest image on an RPI Zero.
I'm looking in:
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
and the default synth is
espeak-ng
Above that line, it says you must use one of the names added with AddModule.
I don't find any other names even though I ran the Voxin-installer.sh for 
Evan.
Seems like this is how to get it going.
spd-say still uses espeak for me.

Subject: How Can I Switch Synthesizers on the Fly?


Hi All: I've asked others in other forums such as Slint-and-Debian
Accessibility, but so far I am striking out. I have a DecTalk U S B, but 
last
year I purchased some hi quality voices from Oralux, which are software 
speech.
When I have Allison installed, I can send her text through spd-say. Making
matters more complex, speech-dispatcher will not seem to install on this 
Debian
Sid machine. Guidance I've received from 2 sources, says I must install and
have espeak talking before I can switch to Allison, which is an embedded 
voice.
When I was running Slint on a laptop, Didier had created a talk-with command 
to
easily switch synths, but his script would need to be re written for Debian. 
In
addition,
if I unload the DecTalk module, I won't have speech, or would their be a way 
of
having both DecTalk and software speech at the same time? So, can some1 
please
provide exact commands I can switch synths on the fly? I ran a locate for
softsynth  but nothing found. Thanks so much in advance
Chime
