I am optimistic that the pronunciation issues may be fixed in time for 17 and the other platforms, but we'll have to see. My report now says that a potential fix has been identified for a future OS update.

J'ai ajouté la gestion du fichier de phonèmes français au programme de synthèse vocale. Pour que ça fonctionne en utilisant peu de ressources ce n'est pas du vrai "text to speech", il faut écrire les mots phonétiquement, avec certains codes pour les sons qui ne correspondent pas à une touche du clavier (ou, euil, oi, en , ...).

Ici par exemple en entrée j'ai cette chaîne :

bOjwr.lE.mOd....jE.sui.I.pRogRam.dE.SIt&z.vokal..av&k.un.vW.dE.Robo.

for the few that care: DECtalk now builds on 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS (Debian, armhf). It previously only ran on 64-bit OSs.

Okay, another TTS/speech synthesizer board from AliExpress evaluated:

Chinese-to-real-life Speech Synthesis Playing Module TTS Announcer SYN6658 of Bank Bus Broadcasting — aliexpress.com/item/1005005574

Looks identical to my SYN6988 board. Can drive it from the same or modules. But it doesn't understand English text, which it spells out letter by letter.

That's a shame. Neat bank of sound effects, though

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, "read" by a SYN6988 TTS chip driven by MicroPython:

Just discovered the SYN6988's 'sound' commands, where it emits several chimes and beeps. This is a silly little chip
(signs off with 'soundy' sound, basically the attention chime in every railway station in every country but yours)

Just dropped on the App Store: for . For now only and languages are supported but it's worth bookmarking/installing this now to follow updates. Again, new linguistic communities have been included to the ecosystem with high-quality, free-of-charge voices. apps.apple.com/pl/app/rhvoice/

OK, how to achieve vocal sounds like this? Some voice synthesis going on, that's for sure. Maybe someone who wasn't a booger eating lego inhaler in the 90s can tell?

The voice begins at 1:01.
