Raspberry Pi
Pidora 2014
eSpeak 1.47.11


Status:

  • It's working.
Install:
  • login as root:
  • yum install espeak
Test:
  • Login as an user (not root):
  • espeak "testing with espeak"
  • espeak testing,with,espeak
  • espeak -vpt "testando a voz da lingua portuguesa"
Troubleshotting:
  • Don't run espeak with root user, it will freeze and only will work again after reboot;
  • eSpeak was interfered by alsa-tools*, xdotool and libxdo;
  • Sometimes espeak freezes when it's trying to speak a word with incorrect syntax;
  • Sometimes espeak freezes, or just don't tell anything, if it receives two commands in a short time.
