TTS Simply doesn't work

Open fbarbe00 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi, I am on Ubuntu 23.10 and have installed the latest version of pied through Snapcraft.

I have used pied to install some UK and US voices, and activated one of them. I have tried using them with the Screen Reader and my web browser's (Firefox) TTS, but this did not produce any sound.

Things I've checked:

  • Volume is on, and works properly on music and videos
  • Rebooted my computer
  • changed the language of my laptop to match voice
  • Screen reader voice previously worked

Did I miss anything? Did this happen to anyone else?

README says

for use with Speech Dispatcher

Thus, install it sudo apt install espeak-ng

Open Piped and install "Amy" voice Run spd-say "A rainbow is a metherological phenomenon"

If not Amy's voice run sudo systemctl restart speech-dispatcher

If spd-say voice is ok then try Read-aloud (or give info about your Screen Reader) set voice as "Auto select" in settings of the add-on (firefox extension).
