Details

Description:

since espeakup requires espeak to work, and espeak conflicts with espeak-ng, it is hard for a blind user to install arch with a graphical interface and still have access to the console.

Additional info:

espeakup 80.2

Steps to reproduce:

# pacman -S espeak-ng
# pacman -S espeakup
This task depends upon

Is espeak-ng supported by espeakup?

yes espeak and espeak-ng is api compatible.

@erik_pro: Thanks for the report.

I'm currently a little hesitant to do just that, because there are issues reported to espeak-ng in regards to espeakup:
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/issues/285
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/issues/463

Would you be able to comment on these?

The espeak and espeak-ng packages no longer conflict. A split package named "espeak-ng-espeak" was created consisting of the conflicting files.
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/espeak-ng&id=fad932ae596e2659d8a0e306f590d7d2b5cd14a7

@erik_pro, BTW I've been told espeak and espeak-ng are "not fully ABI nor API compatible".

We're also looking into adding MBROLA to the repos to use with espeak-ng and such, so just linking this for future reference:
