Updating of language dictionaries
Christo de Klerk
Hello Reece
When I send you updated dictionary files, would you want me to send you a log of the changes I made also, or isn't it necessary? I didn't send one with my last update, but I have one I can send if you want it. Kind regards Christo

Envisaging The Future of The ESpeak-NG Community
Bhavya shah
Dear ESpeak-NG users, developers, and other beneficiaries,
At the outset, let me sincerely thank Reece for appointing me as a moderator of this Groups.io based next generation mailing list for official discussion regarding the ESpeak-NG speech synthesizer. Also, I would like to express my gratitude towards everyone who joint the e-mail list via invites sent out on different forums, direct invites, word-of-mail (not mouth :D) and also for those who have begun contributing by spreading the word about this project and its community, and by participating in it. Following are some fundamental statistics that highlight the current status of this group: Member Count: 11 Group Owner: Reece H. Dunn Group Moderator: Bhavya Shah (Me) Integrations: Github (https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng) Also, following are integral e-mail addresses to perform various activities on the group: To Post: espeak-ng@groups.io To Subscribe: espeak-ng+subscribe@groups.io To Unsubscribe: espeak-ng+unsubscribe@groups.io To Contact The Group Owner: espeak-ng+owner@groups.io At the moment, we have no special hashtags in use (apart from Github), no dedicated subgroups (due to lack of their requirement) and no Wiki material (due to their inexistence). However, our vision for this group must extend beyond not only encompassing this in ESpeak-NG’s next generation e-group, but also having a prolific and proactive community of users and developers in constant communication and interaction via this list. ESpeak-NG powers the speech synthesis of two popular screen readers by default - NVDA for Windows and Orca for Linux – which in turn fuel computer access for tens of thousands of visually impaired individuals across the globe. Let us recognize the significance of this open source project, and accordingly strive to mobilize its users, developers and other beneficiaries as part of this e-mail platform. Please do spread the word about this mailing list and ask your fellow ESpeak users to join the list by sending a blank mail to espeak-ng+subscribe@groups.io And send a blank reply to the confirmation prompt subsequently received. In conclusion, I hope to dutifully serve as a moderator of this mailing list in a just manner, and I shall try to the best of my abilities to assist Reece in ensuring smooth functioning of this e-group, in constant anticipation of your continued collaboration. Best Regards, Bhavya Shah P.S. Due to Groups.io policies, the first post of every group member will require approval from a group administrator. All messages from that e-mail will be delivered directly thereafter. -- Best Regards Bhavya Shah Avid Enthusiast and User of the Free NVDA Screen Reader (www.nvaccess.org) Contacting Me E-mail Address: bhavya.shah125@gmail.com Follow me on Twitter @BhavyaShah125 or www.twitter.com/BhavyaShah125 Mobile Number: +91 7506221750

Done. Thanks for the updates.
You will need to speak with the NVDA developers for that. I am not sure what their mailing list details are, though. Reece Dunn

I do not have instaled this port now, but when I tried it, they popped up, when the main user interface of the app was opened. Regards, Matej Dne 31.12.2016 v 14:05 Mario Perčinić napsal(a):

Latest dictionary files for Afrikaans attached
Christo de Klerk
Hi Reece
I have attached my latest updated dictionary files for Afrikaans: af_list and af_rules. I compiled them and test them locally and there are no errors. I will appreciate it if you could process them for me. Incidentally, I figured out the issue I had with Afrikaans punctuation not being pronounced correctly. What I had to do, was to copy the two files in the NVDA\locale\af_ZA folder to the nvda\locale\af folder and all is working fine with espeak-ng. Who should arrange for those files to be included in that folder for future builds of NVDA? Many thanks for the great work you are doing. Kind regards Christo

Sorry i was just trying to help. Btw i have that version installed on my current phone and i don't see any advertisements which you mentioned over here. Do you know exactly when or in which situations they pop up? Mario

Hi Mario,
I know about this port of eSpeak, but there is some in-app advertisement, so I do not like this port. It is established on the existing code and I found the crashes too. Sincerely, Matej Dne 31.12.2016 v 13:49 Mario Perčinić napsal(a): Hi Matej.My main focus so far has been:

They have not released the source code for their version of eSpeak for Android, so it is not clear what changes RedZoc have made and which are from the eSpeak for Android port. It is likely that they have not changed the eSpeak code itself where the crashes are happening, just the Android side. Kind regards, Reece H. Dunn

Have you tried using port of espeak for android called eSpeak TTS Engine from RedZoc apk. On his page he says that he optimised espeak for android 6 and later. Mario

The changes are described in the changelog (https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md). My main focus so far has been: 1. Clean up the build process. 2. Simplify porting to other systems (BSD, Mac, Windows). 3. Clean up the codebase to make it easier to maintain. 4. Make the code more robust and secure.
It is difficult to know where the crash is occurring and why. The focus on security and stability above should help reduce/remove the number of crashes on Android.
I can see them, but as I have said, it is difficult to know what the cause of the crash is. The work I have done already should help, but there is still more to fix and improve. I am working on merging the android code into the main branch, so that the android code will be usable from the main releases instead of requiring the android branch to be updated. This should make it easier to perform new Android releases in the future. Reece Dunn

eSpeak optimizations for Android 6.0
Matěj Plch <plchterminator@...>
Dear users and developers,
I am very happy, that this discussion group was established and the next generation of eSpeak will come in near future! Can you highlight some important changes, which we can expect? I am highly interested in the port for Android operating system. In this context, I would like to discuss, if is possible to make some engine optimizations, because I register quite often crashes of latest available version 1.48.15 on Android Marshmallow. I tested it on many devices with this OS and the crashing problem is noticeable especialy during fast typing on Google Keyboard or sometimes, when I want to open several apps quickly. I posted many crashing reports directly from the devices, but do not know, if developers catched them. Does someone else has the same experience here? I can give the name of for example: Motorola Moto G (3rd gen) and Xiaomi Redmi 3S. Your comments will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Matej

Re: what is the different between espeak ng and the old espeak regarding the installation procedure?
brandon T <brandongold98@...>
Hello,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
eSpeak-NG only has experimental support for SAPI, which I don't think is included in the installer by default. This means that, unless you change this (which I'm unfortunately not sure how to do, that you can't use this with Narrator at this point in time. Hope this helps, Brandon

what is the different between espeak ng and the old espeak regarding the installation procedure?
Amir Din <mrdin8877@...>
hi, i just installed the old espeak on my windows 64 bit. the old
installation process requires us to enter the voice name + variants for each voices that we want. for example if i want english, i will enter, en and followed by the variants for the english voice such as female, so it will become, en+f1. so do these steps still apply if i use the espeak ng installer? and additional question, can i use espeak with narrator? i want to make it as narrator's voice. this is 64 bit, that is why narrator won't see the old espeak voices. but what about the new espeak ng?
