4 Hello Cleverson,
5
6 The version of espeak in gentoo doesn't currently support switching
7 voices, so you would have to do something like this as root:
8
9 cd /usr/share/espeak-data/voices
10 cp default default.bak
11 cp [voice] default
12
13 In the second cp command, replace the word [voice] with the voice you
14 want to use. For example:
15
16 cp en/en-us default
17
18 then restart espeakup.
19
20 However, I am working on fixing this in espeakup and another release
21 with this support will be done soon.
