Cannot generate using a pre-trained model

Hi,

I am trying to generate the example from the README page. I get an error "RuntimeError: language "en" is not supported by the espeak backend".

In colab is works fine, but I cannot make it work on my machine. My eSpeak is 1.48.03 which comes by default on Ubuntu 20.4

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gen_forward.py", line 118, in <module>

Hi, the phonemizer should default to en-us, this might be a version issue. I just updated the hparams to default to en-us explicitely, could you pull and try again?

It works now. Thank you!
