Hi Vojta, How did you get Orca talking on the rPI 4? I have a rPI 4 with 4 GB of RAM, and I followed the steps that Paval sent out, but could not get it talking. Thanks for any insights. And Here's something on the reverse of what you want, so these steps may help, I saved this message from Mike R. on the RaspberryVI list: HTH. Glenn
Be careful of removing pulse,because it breaks stuff like media players. The problem lies in the use of pulse as a user other than the logged in user. This is why logging in to the GUI makes the console go silent. eSpeak checks to see if pulse is running, and if it is, tries to use it. And fails in the console. You can fix this by changing to libao in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf. Don't try to use alsa in that config file, because there is a bug in the sd_espeak module which makes it crash and silently unload if SD is using alsa. It is some kind of thread conflict I think. You can get round this also by using my OMX library and my forked version of espeakup to render speech directly on the Pi GPU. This gives a very punchy eSpeak in the console. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vojtěch šmiro" <vsm...@seznam.cz> To: <ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 8:57 AM Subject: How to switch Libao to Alsa? Hello, how to switch Libao to Alsa in Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi 4B 4 GB RAM? I have Ubuntu Mate 20.04 32 bit for Arm. Espeak on Libao speaks scarry. Thanks.
