Re: [orca-list] slow orca if espeak list all voices.

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

As an aside, I have found that espeak-ng + mbrola is way better
that espeak-ng + the klatt variants (yes I have tried all of them).

So, just install the mbrola voices you need and the mbrola TTS, this
works well with speech-dispatcher-0.9.0.

I use the alternate GenericExecuteSynth command of
espeak-ng-mbrola-generic.conf, as below:

GenericExecuteSynth \
"echo \'$DATA\' | espeak-ng -v mb-$VOICE -s $RATE -p $PITCH $PUNCT -stdin"

Only caveat: this does not allow to set the sound volume from Orca.

But I am very happy with that.

Best,

Didier
