Hello,
Test of a new version of a Linux system in a Qemu VM, with:
speech-dispatcher-0.11.2
orca-42.0
LANG set to fr_FR.utf8
DefaultModule espeak-ng in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speehcd.conf
# DefaultLanguage "en-US" in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speehcd.conf
Fisrt boot of the system, landing in a console then typing "startx" to start X
and LXQt, I hear a voice in English in LXQ but expected a French one.
In the Voice Tab of the Orca preferences window I see:
Synthétiseur vocal: Synthétiseur by default
Langue : fr-FR
Personne : voix par défault default
and if I click on "Person" drop down list I see only Virginie.
This looks weird as Virginie is a pico voice, not a espeak-ng voice.
Nothing change if I set pico explicitly in the Synthétiseur vocal field
But if I set Virginie as Person I do hear virginie.
However if I set espeak-ng I do hear a French voice.
Aldo, if I set the syntétiseur vocal to espeak-ng-mbrola, the voice is the same,
to actually use an espeak-ng-mbrola voice I need to set one as Person
(french-mbrola-1 or french-mbrola-2 instead of voix par défault espak-ng-mbrola
Any clue appreciated, I don't know if it is an issue with orca and/or spd and/or
my installation.
Cheers,
Didier
