What about using the libpicotts voices since I believe they are the same as the svox voices on android? -----Original Message----- From: Bohdan R.

Question is: are the Android voices compiled for x86 or only for ARM? Also there may be licensing problem: some of Ivona voices for Android are currently free, but not Windows versions :( And price of Android and Windows versions are different. I asked Ivona support about Windows voice installation on Linux - there is no licensing problem, if I pay for the voice I can use it even on washing machine :) With SAPI all software is ready for x86 architecture, so in theory all voices should work. But I found one problem: I have working SAPI voice server (idea was taken from open-sapi project, but code is completely different), client libraries and experimental speech-dispatcher module. I tested it with Acapella (demo only) and Ivona (demo and registered) voices and all works perfectly. As there is no hungarian voice in Ivona or Acapella, I found one hungarian voice (Nuance Vocalizer) in theory compatible with SAPI5. But after instalation SAPI on Wine was broken - not possible to create COM object. Reinstalling SAPI does not fully solve this problem - SAPI works, but does not see hungarian voice. As I'm not familiar with Windows programming - I can't find working solution. ethanak -- http://milena.polip.com/ - Pa pa, Ivonko! -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
