AW: Is there seriously a possibility of "DOING AWAY WITH ESPEAK"? DOING AWAY WITH ESPEAK

At the moment there are no sapi or command line version for windows.
Just linux can be compiled.
There can also be compiled some windows version.
Maybe someone with vs 2015 could do that.

Greetings,

I have noticed espeak ng is mentioned where does one get compiled sapi/
dll versions for windows and nvda?

The last version was last year some time aparently.

I love Espeak's "r"... It's so "posh"... And it sounds a lot like the
"r" of a few of our politicians... lol-rofl!!!

Ciao,

Yes, I agree, ...and then what?

As far as i know, NVDA just switched from eSpeak to eSpeak-ng on
developed branchs.
Espeak-ng contains improvements for several languages and more
languages than eSpeak.
From gitHub you can watch and send issues on:
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng

The R sounds mentioned in another messages for some language is a
knoun issue, from here we are studing for spanish and italian trill R.
Ciao,

Doing away with Espeak, and then what?

Compelling people to buy commercial voices?


I think espeak is still the best non-human synth freely available.

I have Vocalizer Expressive, but I only use the Russian and Hebrew
voices.

the Italian voices are awful to say the least. Not the sound, but the
intonation. They all sound foreign, get lots of accents wrong, and after
a while I just can't stand them anymore.


If there's a viable, free, open source alternative, then ok. If not,
long live Espeak!
