Ok, from that it seems you don't have the -devel package needed to build
things against QtSpeech. For that install the following:

sudo zypper install libqt5-qtspeech-devel

Then you should be able to build hello_speak.

But since speech-dispatcher itself doesn't have the problem (spd-say didn't
duplicate) the problem is either in Okular's use of QtSpeech (not likely,
it's one line that calls QtSpeech) or QtSpeech itself. On my test vm I've
only got the speechd plugin for QtSpeech in
/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/texttospeech/
On your machine do you have a flite plugin there also from some package
from 15.0 or 15.1 times maybe (I don't see any flite plugin package in 15.2
repos, but maybe you got it before upgrading).

I took another look at QtSpeech code itself though and I don't see any way
it would ever use more than one plugin or send the text to multiple
plugins. Then I took a look at the speechd plugin again and it definitely
only sends the text it gets to spd_say function once. I think the next
thing to try will be to enable debugging in speech-dispatcher (after we are
sure that's what plugin QtSpeech is using) and see what text it's getting
to synthesize from okular. I'll write up some instructions for that once I
do it here and remember how it's done :)

thanks,
Jeremy
