Anyway possible using Svox Classic TTS engine with Ubuntu?
Hy, With Android awailable the Svox Classic TTS engine, this TTS have natural sound persons I think with 24 languages, hungarian language is awailable this engine. With Ubuntu repositoryes I think only the Svox Pico TTS awailable. Possible using the Svox Classic text to speech engine anyway an Ubuntu system? I no, the Svox Classic voices are commercial voices. Other high quality text to speech engines in Linux not supporting yet hungarian language, and the Mbrola hungarian voice unfortunately not enough good. For example the Google Translator hungarian voice is very impressive, but I don't no what TTS using Google when spokening hungarian language texts. Svox Classic text to speech engine link is following: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.svox.classic Some Pocket Book ebook reader devices supporting hungarian language text to speech, but I don't no what TTS engine builtin this devices.

Unfortunately the SVox Classic voices, as far as I know, are only built for Android, and an interface to be able to use speech-dispatcher is not currently available for desktop Linux. It's likely that x86 binaries would speak with the right dependencies, but I doubt that the Pico module for speech-dispatcher will support it. The only other option for many different languages is eSpeak, but many of its languages need native speakers to fix them up so they sound better. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- Kyle? ...

Someone with experience adapting voices for use with Orca/speech dispatcher is: Bohdan R. Rau etha...@polip.com He was working on adapting SAPI voices for use in Linux through Wine. Maybe his experience would help with this.
