Hi all.
I managed to install RHVoice on Ubuntu 18.04LTS, i managed to get it working, but now I have this scottish english voice, but when I do command: "spd-say -o RHVoice -L", it gives me: "Failed to load voice list"
The response is similar when I try with sudo.
Has anyone have got any ideas for me?
Also, unrelated, but Orca doesn't speak in the sudo root command prompt, also when opening protected files, with Pluma.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

For 18.04, you need to build it against speech-dispatcher 0.88

The command is....

scons spd_version=0.88

Then build as normal. Adjust for your speech-dispatcher version. I had the same issue on 20.04 and it was looking for 0.88 and I run speech-dispatcher 0.9

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
I did the command as you suggested.
Then I run sudo scons install, correct?
The RHVoice module doesn't show up when I run spd-say -O
What could be the problem?

Corect, but....you need to remove the module and reinstall/rebuild RHvoice though
