Re: How Can I Switch Synthesizers on the Fly?

["K0LNY_Glenn" <glenn@ervin.email>]

I sure would like to get speakup using the Oralux Voxin Evan or Nathan as 
well
One suggestion I had was to install voxinup, but that may be an old 
unmaintained package.

Subject: How Can I Switch Synthesizers on the Fly?


Hi All: I've asked others in other forums such as Slint-and-Debian
Accessibility, but so far I am striking out. I have a DecTalk U S B, but 
last
year I purchased some hi quality voices from Oralux, which are software 
speech.
When I have Allison installed, I can send her text through spd-say. Making
matters more complex, speech-dispatcher will not seem to install on this 
Debian
Sid machine. Guidance I've received from 2 sources, says I must install and
have espeak talking before I can switch to Allison, which is an embedded 
voice.
When I was running Slint on a laptop, Didier had created a talk-with command 
to
easily switch synths, but his script would need to be re written for Debian. 
In
addition,
if I unload the DecTalk module, I won't have speech, or would their be a way 
of
having both DecTalk and software speech at the same time? So, can some1 
please
provide exact commands I can switch synths on the fly? I ran a locate for
softsynth  but nothing found. Thanks so much in advance
