Re: [orca-list] other tts with orca

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

This is a file that you need to edit, for instance with a text
editor like nano.

You need to be "root" (administrator) to do that.

So open a terminal then type:
sudo nano /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-ng.conf
or if your distribution doesn't use "sudo" by default, type:
su
then, type:
nano /etc/speech-dispatcher/module/espeak-ng.conf

In either case, locate this line:
EspeakListVoiceVariants O
and replace it with:
EspeakListVoiceVariants 1
then type Ctrl+O to save, press Enetr to confirm,
the press Ctrl+X to quit.

Or, still as root type these two lines:
sed /Variants/s/0/1/ /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-ng.conf > dummy
mv dummy /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak-ng.conf

I hope this helps,

Didier
