Actually the "+" is not getting pronounced (see bug #690343) so that
it's really not obvious with speech how to get the subsequent choices.

The paging feature was requested so that one can review the
choices with the speakup reviewing facilities, but it seems
that for now it brings more harm than good, so I have disabled
it for now, until #690343 gets fixed. The upstream report is
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/issues/150 , it would probably be
useful to hint there that we'd like that to be fixed.

How to use speech synthesis in Hebrew ?

2019-03-01 Thread Alex ARNAUD

Hello all,

I'm helping a blind person to use his computer and he speaks Hebrew. I'm 
looking for him to find an Hebrew voice to read his language.


Are you aware of such voice and how to use it with Speech Dispatcher ?

I've found mbrola voices in Hebrew but those voices don't work through 
Speech Dispatcher because Espeak or Espeak NG don't map them.


I've tried this command to test (I'm sorry but I don't know Hebrew 
sentence):

echo 'I do a test' | espeak-ng -v mb-hb1 --stdin --pho


And I obtain:

Error: The specified espeak-ng voice does not exist.


Best regards,
Alex.
