Qt Speech plug-in

jsulm

@Eeli-K I installed Qt Speech using Qt Maintenance Tool, but there are no plug-in for Qt Speech.

@jsulm Next step would be to try to load with the engine name, speechd in Linux and sapi in Windows (found from the source code).

The code for plugins is in the repository (see http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtspeech.git/tree/src/plugins/tts?id=483208aff4f583df2c9c14d0d549c39d68481196) and in the source code downloaded by the Maintenance Tool. They seem to properly include and use the platform dependent code. If the binaries don't exist it must be a build issue, a bug in the official downloaded binaries.

@Eeli-K Yes, it does not make sense to provide a TP without mandatory plug-ins.

I also installed it with the maintenance tool. The example works perfectly on OS X and it makes a lot of fun. Great job!

I created https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58461 - feel free to follow that bug. It is indeed missing the plugin from the packages.

frederik

Which Windows version did you test? From what I can tell, the plugin is not in the MINGW packages, the MVSC packages should have it, is that correct?

jsulm

@frederik Thanks for the info!
I tested the MinGW version. I will test MSVC version later.

@jsulm I've used Qt Speech on Android (7.0 / API 24) , and it works fine, with Qt 5.12.x.
It works also with Windows 7, but voice is not so nice as Android voices

To solve "No text-to-speech plug-ins were found" on Ubuntu, I needed to install

sudo apt-get install qtspeech5-speechd-plugin

(This installs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/texttospeech/libqtexttospeech_speechd.so)

And the speech engine can be installed with:

sudo apt-get install speech-dispatcher
