Yeah probably the issue I just mentioned. Suddenly the server can't find 
/usr/lib/mycroft/mimic3/libespeak-ng.so.1, even though I can see it in 
the right place and it is in fact an ELF 64-bit shared object as it 
should be. Permissions haven't changed either. I guess I'll have to put 
the voices in the location where I initially downloaded them. Maybe 
symlinking them will work better so that the API shows a better location 
than the one where it wants them to be.


Did you try different languages? English UK and US, German, Dutch, 
Russian, Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian and Swahili are all known to work 
as the server is set up now.
