Package: mbrola Version: 3.01h+2-2 Severity: grave Hi
If I go to Orca screen reader settings and select the "Espeak Mbrola generic" as a speech synthetiser then Orca speaks nothing. That speech synthetiser did still work couple of days ago when I used it the last time. Orca did speak using those more natural sounding mbrola voices. I installed the latest update to mbrola package yesterday and if I now select that "Espeak Mbrola generic" then Orca speakks nothing. I am blind so it is difficult for me to try to solve what is causing this. I have not changed the Orca and speech-dispatcher settings so that is not causing the problem. I have also noticed that if I now start the Gespeaker application and select one of the mbrola voices then Gespeaker speaks in wery robotic voice which does not sound at all like that same mbrolaa voice did sound earlier. The same happens if I use espeak with mbrola voice from command line. Espeak speaks in wery robotic voice which does not sound like mbrola voice used to sound. I also get this error message: $ espeak -v mb-en1 "hello world" mbrowrap error: Unable to get .wav header from mbrola mbrola voice not found I get the same error if I use some other mbrola voice than mb-en1. So, any idea what is causing the problem? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mbrola depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.18.23 pn libc6:i386 | libc6-i386 <none> mbrola recommends no packages.
