The unicode support

[Zahari Yurukov]

Hi,
What happened to the unicode support? Aren't there plans for releasing it?
It's not in 4.11.3, and I don't know what code is in staging-testing and staging-next branches, but I can't compile speakup alone and install it to my stock Fedora kernels any more, like I did until now. I. e. the code is different and I can't load the module into those kernels.

Sorry about delayed reply. I'm pretty sure those patches are in
staging-next. They seem to be in v4.12 rc releases too.

Compiling speakup from staging-next will fail in 4.11.3 because of
external changes. I created this [1] repo for testing new speakup. It
contains the patch needed for compiling speakup in 4.11.3 or earlier.
There are instructions there too. Do let me know if you get problems.

Thanks,
Okash

? It is there. Check out /dev/softsynthu, it should be there.
That said, you need the git version of espeakup, the use of
/dev/softsynthu hasn't been released yet.

Hi, Samuel:

Didn't just work for me per instructions after a pacaur build of
espeakup-git.

The speakup-git install script prints out:
"# You can set voice preferences in /home/user/.speakup/espeakup
# For example, to set to us english
# default_voice=en-us"

It transpired that there was no $HOME/.speakup directory on my system.
Once I created it, and the espeakup file with the default lang
designation as per the instructions, a systemctl restart espeakup got
things going.

Perhaps the script could check for the directory and create a meaningful
defult if none currently exists?

Also, I'm noting this espeakup doesn't appear to be playing nice with
alsa dmix. No other audio output can get at the device espeakup is
using. This is a new issue for me.

Thanks for all your continuing wonderful support of Speakup!

Janina
