How to get QtSpeech support on Linux?

[Vadi2]

How can I get Qt Speech installed? It's not an option in the installer: https://i.imgur.com/XRn6k9S.png

hi @Vadi2 ,
since it is out of "Beta" It's been part of the normal precompiled libs.

add QT += texttospeech in your pro file to load the plugin and access the classes via #include <QTextToSpeech>

For anybody like me using Ubuntu/Debian and using the Qt which is pre-supplied with the OS I had to

sudo apt-get install libqt5texttospeech5-dev

(And then sudo apt-get install qtspeech5-speechd-plugin as per https://forum.qt.io/topic/75426/qt-speech-plug-in/20 .)
