Hi,
i am a new user here, using fedora 25 with a screen reader. Since i
use the assistive technology, i need to use a package, not one i
think, maybe two, packages from debian. The first one, adds support
for the new voice available on fedora, called, espeak-ng. It needs a
driver to communicate with my speech-dispatcher, an interface that
will provide speech using the synthesizer. Unfortunately, the driver
is not availablne in .rpm, but in debian it is available. Both debian
and rpm are using the 0.86 version of this app, so i think it is not
an issue of version. I tried alien and when installing, it said
conflict with file. I also cannot find the source package for this.
The package i mean is, speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng, available from
this link,
https://packages.debian.org/sid/main/speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng
if anyone can convert it to rpm and i can install it, it will be great!

Description: Speech Dispatcher: Espeak-ng output module
Speech Dispatcher provides a device independent layer for speech synthesis.
It supports various software and hardware speech synthesizers as
backends and provides a generic layer for synthesizing speech and
playing back PCM data via those different backends to applications.
.
Various high level concepts like enqueueing vs. interrupting speech and
application specific user configurations are implemented in a device
independent way, therefore freeing the application programmer from
having to yet again reinvent the wheel.
.
This package contains the output module for the espeak-ng speech synthesizer.

Are these two essentially the same module/driver?
