kandi X-RAY | espeak-ng Summary

espeak-ng is a C library typically used in Artificial Intelligence, Speech applications. espeak-ng has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

The eSpeak NG is a compact open source software text-to-speech synthesizer for Linux, Windows, Android and other operating systems. It supports more than 100 languages and accents. It is based on the eSpeak engine created by Jonathan Duddington. eSpeak NG uses a "formant synthesis" method. This allows many languages to be provided in a small size. The speech is clear, and can be used at high speeds, but is not as natural or smooth as larger synthesizers which are based on human speech recordings. It also supports Klatt formant synthesis, and the ability to use MBROLA as backend speech synthesizer.

QUESTION

No sound on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04.5 system with Windows 10 dual boot

Asked 2020-Sep-20 at 08:18

I've had some trouble with sound for a few weeks already, it just doesn't produce any output on my system. I've tried submitting a bug report, but there is no answer from launchpad, the bug importance is undecided and it is not assigned to anyone. I have used Ubuntu 18.04 before and had no trouble with sound.

So, I've decided to reinstall Ubuntu in hope that the issue gets fixed, but that did not happen. I would really want to solve the problem, but I don't know how. I've looked up a lot of things and tried them, but nothing works...

Things I've tried:

Playing around with alsamixer
Playing around with pavucontrol and pulseaudio
Reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio
Doing alsa force-reload
Adding options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Adding blacklist snd_soc_skl to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

I kindly ask for help.

I am posting relevant outputs below:

$ sudo lshw -C sound

For Pulseaudio

Ensure the /etc/libao.conf defaults to pulseaudio

default_driver=pulse

[or edit or create a local .libao (note the dot as the first character) file in your home directory (this will take precedence over the /etc/libao.conf file which is system wide)]
Ensure that the pulseaudio daemon is enabled

systemctl --user enable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket

The check pulse audio:

QUESTION

Bash-script to toggle espeak by keyboard shortcut

Asked 2020-Aug-24 at 18:27

To read a selected text in GUI out loud I use the command xsel | espeak-ng -v mb-us3 -p3 -s135. To stop it I use killall -s STOP espeak-ng. To start it again killall -s CONT espeak-ng.

All 3 commands work, but the noob I am won't let me archive correct results. The problem is in the if- and case-statement I think. I assigned them to a keyboard shortcut.

I want to manage this shellscript to toggle between read aloud and stopping the process of reading aloud if espeak-ng is already running. If it's not already running the bash should start it.

after struggling a bit by myself I found out that there is a difference between ps -ef and ps ax in the order of printing out some values...

Also I have to admit that the end of line 10 looks awful. It has to be ...print $5}'` . Because of the difference between ps -ef and ps ax of course it has to be ...print $3}'` .

By the way. The dependencies are xsel and espeak-ng and at least one mbrola-voice.

Now it works. Here is the full code:
