Hello guys.

You need to checkout this modern technology one day:

espeak English voice, so the output is incomprehensible .   I had said =
Scottish sounding, but you are more correct.

get the program to build.   I have been trying to figure out why my test =
opensuse 15.3 system does not have the problem of the duplicate voices =
and the 15.3 system which I need for work does have the problem.  It =
seems that when I was able to install Jovie on the 15.3 test system it =
was because it came from an unsupported repo which installed some Qt5 =
Frameworks packages, but I can't figure out which ones.  And now that I =
look again that unsupported repo no longer has Jovie available.  Not =
sure where to go from here.

to KMouth. I think once you're able to select a voice (and language) in =
those just like in hello_speak it should be pretty straight forward to =
make it sound the way you want.
