https://github.com/Olga-Yakovleva/RHVoice IMHO more pleasant and natural voice. you can choose in the settings which speech synthesizer to use.

@Ilia1 could you provide a demo or sample audio from that project? Is there an apt package? How do we integrate it into Dragonfire? Seems like we have to compile it on installation which I don't like the idea of "compiling" on installation time. If you can find a way to pack Dragonfire with a pre-compiled solution of RHVoice then we can think using it.

https://launchpad.net/%7Elinvinus/+archive/ubuntu/rhvoice/ there is a repository, but it has not been updated for a long time (version 0.7 has already been released). There are also examples of speech synthesis.

@Ilia1 we cannot add apt repositories to the user's system. It should be available in Ubuntu's official repositories if we will use it.

Ilia1 commented 6 years ago

you did not plan to create a repository for your program? install from deb package and constantly check for updates is not very convenient.

mertyildiran commented 6 years ago

@Ilia1 Dragonfire is a not a library nor aiming to become a dependency of a software. So it's not necessary. We tried to put Dragonfire into Debian's repositories but nearly half of our dependencies are pip packages and they are not available in Debian's repositories. Because of this reason we are unable to achieve that at this moment. In the future, it can be possible.

P.S. to become a Debian package you should only depend on apt packages. That's the Debian's policy.
