Hallo Henning,

danke für die Datei.
Leider klappt es noch nicht.
1. Was hat es mit mbrola4sbl auf sich? Konnte kein Package/Verzeichnis
auf meinem System finden.
2. Wo müsste ich die Mbrola-Stimmen in den Orca-Einstellungen finden?
Als Sprachsystem wird nur Gnome-Sprachausgabe und als Synthesizer Espeak
und Festival aufgeführt.

Hier meine Version der mbrola-generic.conf:
# Espeak-mbrola output module is based on the generic plugin for Speech
# Dispatcher. It means there is no C code written explicitly for
# this plugin, all the specifics are handled in this configuration
# and we call a simple command line client to perform the actual
# synthesis. Use this config file with the sd_generic output module.
#
# IMPORTANT: The audio output method relies on ALSA Player (aplay)
# being installed. If this is not the case, consider installing it
# or replace the aplay command in the GenericExecuteString below
# with play or similar.
#
# GenericExecuteString to what's the name of this utility on your
# system (it might be "speak")

# GenericExecuteSynth is the shell command that should be
# executed in order to say some message. This command must
# stop saying the message on SIGKILL, otherwise it's useless.
# You can use the variables $LANGUAGE, $VOICE, $PITCH and $RATE
# which will be substituted for the appropriate value (you
# can modify this value, see other parameters).
# The command can be split into more lines, if necessary, using '\'.
GenericExecuteSynth \
"echo \"$DATA\"#|\
    #/usr/lib/mbrola4sbl/numfilt |\
    /usr/local/mbrola/txt2pho -m |\
    /usr/local/mbrola/mbrola -t $RATE  -e
    #/usr/lib/mbrola4sbl/voices/$VOICE - /dev/shm/mbrola.wav &&
aplay /dev/shm/mbrola.wav"

# GenericStripPunctChars is a list (enclosed in doublequotes) of
# all the characters that should be replaced by whitespaces in
# order not to be badly handled by the output module or misinterpreted
# by shell.

# GenericStripPunctChars  "~@#$%^&*+=|\\/<>[]_`"

# AddVoice specifies which $VOICE string should be assigned to
# each language and symbolic voice name. All the voices you want
# to use must be specified here.

AddVoice        "de"    "MALE1" "/usr/local/mbrola/de2/de2"
AddVoice "de"    "MALE2" "/usr/local/mbrola/de4"
#AddVoice "de"    "MALE3" "de2"
AddVoice "de"    "FEMALE1"   "/usr/local/mbrola/de3/de3"

# These parameters set _rate_, _pitch_, and _volume_ conversion. This is
# part of the core of the definition of this generic output
# module for this concrete synthesizer, it's not intended to
# be modified by common users.
# The resulting rate (or pitch) has the form:
#       (speechd_rate * GenericRateMultiply) + GenericRateAdd
# while speechd_rate is a value between -100 (lowest) and +100 (highest)
# You have to define some meaningful conversion for each synthesizer

# Here's the mapping from SSIP (Speech Dispatcher) to ESpeak (v1.10):
#
#           SSIP Range  SSIP Default    ESpeak Range    ESpeak Default
#           ----------- ------------    ------------    --------------
# Rate      -100 to 100     0           80 to 320       160
# Pitch     -100 to 100     0            0 to 99         50
# Volume    -100 to 100     0            0 to 20         10
#
# The SSIP defaults are actually controlled via DefaultRate,
DefaultPitch, and
# DefaultVolume in the speechd.conf file.


GenericRateAdd          1
GenericPitchAdd         -3
GenericVolumeAdd        10

# (These values are multiplied by 100, because DotConf currently
# doesn't support floats. So you can write 0.85 as 85 and so on.)

GenericRateMultiply     -1
GenericPitchMultiply    50
GenericVolumeMultiply   10

# If the client program can't handle floats, you will have to
# use these two options to force integers as the parameters
# 1 means force integers, 0 means do nothing (write floats).

GenericRateForceInteger     0
GenericPitchForceInteger    1
GenericVolumeForceInteger   1

# Note that SSIP rates < -50 are spoken at -50.

# Debug turns debugging on or off
# See speechd.conf for information where debugging information is stored
Debug 0

Die Datei speechd.conf habe ich bis auf die von dir angegebenen Zeilen
nicht verändert.
Schätze, dass mir noch irgend etwas fehlt.
