Re: [orca-list] Orca and MBROLA Speech Synthesis



Well, there're a couple of ways to handle Mbrola with Orca. You can either install Festival and use an Mbrola voice wrapper through that (not sure if they have a croatian voice however) or install speech dispatcher and use espeak to drive the mbrola voices via its espeak-mbrola-generic module. I'd recommend going the speech dispatcher route, as even if Festival does have a croatian voice wrapper for mbrola, Festival is very slow even on a fast computer.
Espeak also has a croatian voice itself, but I don't speak the language so not sure of its quality. You can listen to it by setting your espeak voice to "hr."

Hello!I am interesting does Orca supports the mbrola speech synthesis.
I've downloaded mbrola Linux binary and mbrola voice for my primary language, and it's Croatian, but on Speech tab sheet in orca preferences, I have not mbrola under synthesizer items.
Best regards from Darko Pogachich.
