@DanielSWolf espeak-ng is forked from this repo (espeak) and modify speak bit to support 102 languages whereas this repo support 101.
Official repository for community is espeak-ng now.
This project is its ancestor and is preserved because of registered issues in it. You can look on this project as another fork of espeak-ng project with only difference that other forks are usually childs of espeak-ng, but this project is parent of it (from GitHub point of view).
As for today, eSpeak NG actually supports 106 languages and accents, but project description is not updated so regularly on GitHub to reflect this number. (You can check this with command espeak-ng --voices
).
Explaining this in the repo description and readme would be really helpful.
Between these two repos and the original SourceForge page, finding the right place wasn't easy for me, looking into the project for the first time. This looks like an actively maintained repo, and there's no explanation otherwise on the main page.
The link to the eSpeak for Android page alongside the description is confusing too. (The reference to espeak-general@lists.sourceforge.net on that page was especially confusing.)
With help from Reece and GitHub technical support, inheritance of both projects are now reordered that https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/ is now upstream project, but https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak/ is one of its forks.
I'm confused about the Git repositories of eSpeak NG. There's rhdunn/espeak and there's espeak-ng/espeak-ng.
I'm sure I'm missing something here, but I'm thoroughly confused!
