Hi! I have it installed here but i don't understand how it should be integrated in to voiceover so that it could work as a good voiceover voice. I guess one has to be a programmer to do the trick. /A 23 aug 2014 kl. 06:37 skrev 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries macvisionaries@googlegroups.com:

I rather doubt that. Did you go in to the Voice Over utility and then go in to the custom voice tab? You should be able to check it in there and it should then work. Sincerely, the Constantly Barefooted Ray, Still a very happy Mac and iphone user! Sent from my Mac, the only computer with

Hi! To clarify my last message i tried really hard to do this. There's no way to get espeak as a synth into voiceover as far as i can tell. But if someone gets a sollution to this i'd be more than thankful. /A 24 aug 2014 kl. 00:50 skrev Anders Holmberg and...@pipkrokodil.se: Hi! Sure did. Not

Espeak for mac, as of now and probably forever unless one of the tallented programmers learns how cepstral and infovox work on the mac, and integrate this free and open source software to the mac. If eSpeak cannot be ported, and integrated, then that's one point lower that I have for open

I tried downloading the OSX version of eSpeak but wasn't able to get very far with it. Of course I've never used the tool before. I downloaded it from here: http://espeak.sourceforge.net/download.html but when I typed ./speak The quick brown fox it gave the error: Can't read data file:

Hi all. As a long-time user of both Windows and the mac, I keep wondering why eSpeak hasn't been ported to work with voiceover and the mac speech API. If Eloquence can be ported, why on earth can't eSpeak, being open source and a native linux program, be ported? Is Eloquence just that good,

The developers have never been very open to the idea, but I think that's mostly because the Mac API for making a voice is complex. I've given it a try, a couple times, and didn't get far because I don't know enough about the mechanics of speech synthesis. On Aug 2, 2014, at 1:06 PM, Anders

Hi there folks, Due to being Afrikaans, I would like to know if eSpeak is available for the Mac. Being that no other voices has been made available for purchase, eSpeak is the only option. Regards, Brandt Steenkamp MSN/Windows live: brandt...@live.com Google talk: brandt.steenk...@gmail.com

Hi, I have it installed here on my mac, but it's not intergrated with the rest of the apple speach features, so voiceover won't use it. There's an espeak list if you want to bug them about it or check to see if it's been developed further. Best, Erik Burggraaf User support consultant, Now
