Re: [orca-list] free voices other than espeak




When you call up Orca preferences with insert + space bar, at the bottom of the first page, it's quicker to shift tab to it, you can create and set profiles, which are basically different speech settings.

I can follow the first part of this, but what do you mean about switching profiles and editing the configuration?

for Ubuntu/Debian the RH-Voices can be installed from the repo:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linvinus/rhvoice
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rhvoice
sudo apt-get install speech-dispatcher-rhvoice
sudo reboot



Note: for speech-dispatcher version 0.9.1 (default in Ubuntu 20.04) there is a bug in RH-Voice package preventing getting the list of the voices. As a result there is no way to switch RH-Voices in Orca settings. The work around is to create another Orca settings profile and edit it manually in the Orca settings file directly.
