[opensuse] Text-to-speech in Leap 15.0
Hello listers, I am trying to figure out if Text-to-Speech (TTS) will be fully functional in Leap 15.0. I use TTS (KDE) via Jovie in Leap 42.3. It is quite functional. However Jovie is no longer maintained and is being replaced by Qtspeech. As far as I can gather, Qtspeech is functional as of Qt5.8. If I understood the info from the Qt project. Which version of Qt is going to be in Leap 15.0? I looked through the 15.0 project page and OS wiki and through the Leap 15.0 repo packages but I could not figure it out. I know Qtspeech is eventually replacing Jovie, but in which version of KDE? And which version of KDE is going to be in 15.0? I am not quite sure where to look for more clarity. The relationship between Qt, Plasma and the KDE environment has become extremely confusing to me, especially with my visual impairment. I will have to upgrade to 15.0 sometime this year since the EOL of 42.3 is approaching. The question boils down to - will text-to-speech be functional in Leap 15.0 (KDE)? And if so, will it be based on Jovie or Qtspeech? This is a critical question for me, since I can not use the computer without TTS. I looked through the KDE accessibility pages but they are hopelessly outdated. Any help would be much appreciated, Gustav -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

FYI: Just updated my Leap 15 test-install, and libQt5TextToSpeech is available. Also libspeechd2 . BTW: the KDE version will be 5.12, the KDE LTS version. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.

Thanks a lot! Searching with KDE 5.12 I found that Qtspeech in Leap 15 is 5.9x. Looks good, now I'll search further but it looks like a functional TTS. Gustav
