I am not sure why you thought rolling your own was a good idea, as they are now broken.

I am running latest patchlevel of Arch Linux.

The pitch slider controls the volume, and volumne and speed do absolutely nothing.

Just make this easier on everyone and just use normal slider controls:

$ pacman -Q qpicospeaker-git
qpicospeaker-git r60.7429077-1
$ pacman -Q qt5-base
qt5-base 5.14.1-4
$ pacman -Q qt5-multimedia
qt5-multimedia 5.14.1-1

I lost my voice with Covid-19. I needed a way to communicate. This app was just what I needed, thanks. Plz consider pull requests which seem to work well. Also, maybe mention you need https://github.com/Shadowsith/qdocker. Google is the clearest and can be installed quickly with "python3 -m pip install gTTS" (Don't use apt) Thanks again.

The compiling of the program failed with new Qt Version.
Need to fix this, also need to add features from >=C++14

I've been waiting years for a desktop text-to-speech application for linux, and so far this looks very promising! However, I can't seem to find any documentation on svox, such as how to install more voices.

Hi
I use Lubuntu. How do I launch your app?
Thank you!

Hi!

For some reason the app does nothing when I input text and try playing. No source shows up in pavucontrol either.

P. S Thank you for making app that will be a lifesavers for dyslexics like me
