Re: [orca-list] suggestion for variants voice in orca

[Criss <crisspro hotmail com>]

Hello, thank for your answer.


I no understand what is espeak-bg. For example in ubuntu mate 20.4 with 
orca 3.36, in preferences,voice, you can select espeak-ng only. In 
person only appear diferent accent, but not all variant. I only can 
enable it editing espeak-ng.conf. Well, maybe I am not understanding, so 
you say that is posible select any variant only using orca preferenses 
or no?, because that is my point, Orca must be show all variant for 
default with out extra configuration for users.



sorry if I don't understand XD.
