I want to use the new en-r voice selection. Using speak from the command line like this, works fine: speak -v en-r "sample of speech goes here" but when I add the -v switch to the espeak-module.conf file in the speech-dispatcher modules directory, it is ignored. How can I persuade speech-dispatcher to use the en-r voice? Second, how do I install the libespeak shared library, which seems compiled successfully, but not installed? Thanks for any help here. The new voicing sounds pretty good on the command line, good enough to promote to speech-dispatcher if I can. Great job, Jonathan, bloody good!
