Package Information

Description:

eSpeak NG is a compact formant speech synthesizer, also used as the text-to-phoneme front end of neural voices such as Piper and Kokoro. This is a temporary mirror of the ::gentoo package, pinned to the commit app-text/calibre needs for its neural Read aloud engine: no release has espeak_TextToPhonemesWithTerminator() yet. Remove it once ::gentoo ships one that does.
