[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1866880] Re: Firefox Speech Synthesis Not Working in Kubuntu
@kia-kasurinen Thank you so much! sudo apt-get install speech-dispatcher After the command above, and restarting Firefox, Speech Synthesis is working in Firefox. Please advocate getting this package into the default install of Kubuntu 20.04. The browser will use it if it is there, and other OS desktops make sure a speech-dispatcher is provided. Kubuntu should also. This will help all web developers who use speech synthesis and keep Kubuntu users from scratching their heads on web pages that are supposed to be speaking to them, but are not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866880 Title: Firefox Speech Synthesis Not Working in Kubuntu Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in kubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Modern web browsers, by spec, are supposed to support Speech Synthesis.

Another example: Here's a card trick I made, where the browser should speak during the trick: http://www.lonniebest.com/CardTrick/ This speaking can be heard in both Firefox and Chrome on Windows 10. It also works in Ubuntu Firefox. However, it does NOT work in Kubuntu 19.10 Firefox (you don't hear anything). Hopefully this will be fixed by Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. ** Also affects: kde-baseapps Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866880 Title: Firefox Speech Synthesis Not Working in Kubuntu Status in KDE Base: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Modern web browsers, by spec, are supposed to support Speech Synthesis.
