  Speech Synthesis Not Working

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04.5, Firefox supports Speech Synthesis by utilizing
  Text-To-Speech voices provided by default from the operating system.

  In Windows 10, both both Firefox and Chrome support Speech Synthesis
  by utilizing Text-To-Speech voices provided by default from the
  operating system.

  However,in Chromium 68 and 69, although the API is supported, Chromium
  cannot speak, because it doesn't seem to know how to load those Text-
  To-Speech voices that Firefox is successfully utilizing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1792300] Re: Speech Synthesis Not Working

2020-09-19 Thread guest271314
Speech synthesis processing is not shipped in Chromium source code.

Ordinarily, in order to use speech synthesis at Chromium a speech
synthesis engine needs to be installed, for example, espeak or espeak-
ng, and speech-dispatch needs to be installed

  $ sudo apt install python3-speechd

then launch Chromium with

  --enable-speech-dispatcher

flag.

However, no voices are loaded at snap version of Chromium at

Chromium85.0.4183.102 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)
Revision
ffe848af6a5df4fa127e2929331116b7f9f1cb30-refs/branch-heads/4183@{#1770}
OS  Linux

Chromium from https://download-chromium.appspot.com/

Chromium87.0.4268.0 (Developer Build) custom (64-bit)
Revision
b2793c4720e3daf929778440ff945eadf202b200-refs/heads/master@{#808630}
OS  Linux
JavaScript  V8 8.7.142

also has serious issues with Web Speech API implementation.

It should be possible to run

  $ spd-conf

then edit the speech synthesis engine configuration file to modify
variations, which should be reflected in speechSynthesis.getVoices(),
however, that also does not currently work for non-snap Chromium, where
snap Chromium loads no voices at all.

Also, the queue to speech-dispatcher is severely broken at non-snap
Chromium, requiring executing speechSynthesis.cancel() to cycle through
the code that worked within the last few releases at
https://guest271314.github.io/SSMLParser/, where the code outputs the
expected result at Firefox 80 and Nightly 82.

2020-07-26 Thread Lonnie Lee Best
User activation has been added to my trick for Chromium:
http://www.lonniebest.com/CardTrick/

As Olivier pointed out, the issue remains that speechSynthesis (a web
standard that major browsers support in other operating systems) is not
working Kubuntu 20.04 or Ubuntu 20.04. These are long term support
releases. Where is the support? I reported this two years ago. What
about the visual impaired people that depend on speechSynthesis?

To reproduce this bug, open Chromium on any web page and then hit ctrl-shift-I. 
At the console type (or copy/paste):
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("Testing 1 2 3"));

If you do not hear your browser speak "Testing 1 2 3", the bug is not
fixed. Try the same test on Windows 10 to experience speechSynthesis
working as expected.

You don't need to go to any web page in particular to test this.

Open the browser and hit ctrl-shift-I and then type this into the console and 
press enter:
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("Testing 1 2 3"));

This works in Ubuntu Firefox and in MS Windows Chrome, but it does not
work in Ubuntu Chromium. This is true for the apt repository Chromium
and for the snap repository Chromium in Ubuntu.
