TTS Simply doesn't work
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).
