Hello,
Most likelly you have been working with kobaspeech voices as this is the
way to get the realspeak voices as sapi5. They are however implemented
slightly differently than most other voices e.g. acapella. There was
also an issue with loading kobaspeech voices in NVDA.
I will try to look up info about your project and test it here whether
this is the same issue. If yes then we might be able to port the fix
from NVDA.
Greetings
Peter

Android voices should be even easier than SAPI voices to make work with
speech-dispatcher, since x86 builds of Android are now available, and
the voices need to be built for it, making them one step closer to
x86-based desktop Linux.
Question is: are the Android voices compiled for x86 or only for ARM?
Also there may be licensing problem: some of Ivona voices for Android
are currently free, but not Windows versions :( And price of Android
and Windows versions are different.
I asked Ivona support about Windows voice installation on Linux -
there is no licensing problem, if I pay for the voice I can use it
even on washing machine :)
With SAPI all software is ready for x86 architecture, so in theory all
voices should work. But I found one problem:
I have working SAPI voice server (idea was taken from open-sapi
project, but code is completely different), client libraries and
experimental speech-dispatcher module. I tested it with Acapella (demo
only) and Ivona (demo and registered) voices and all works perfectly.
As there is no hungarian voice in Ivona or Acapella, I found one
hungarian voice (Nuance Vocalizer) in theory compatible with SAPI5.
But after instalation SAPI on Wine was broken - not possible to create
COM object. Reinstalling SAPI does not fully solve this problem - SAPI
works, but does not see hungarian voice. As I'm not familiar with
Windows programming - I can't find working solution.
