Trying to myspeaker.say("Hello world") however this issue persists. Please let me know if anyone has a fix

[sayak-brm]

Can you please tell me which OS are you on?

[alislaboratory]

I am on Linux, specifically raspbian.

[sayak-brm]

I see. In the directory where you downloaded this repository run the following commands:

rm ./espeak
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install espeak

As I said, I haven't updated this repo in a long time, and these commands should get you the latest tts engine for your required architecture.

[sayak-brm]

Any updates on the issue?

[alislaboratory]

I am currently on holidays so I can’t test the fix. I will update you when I get back next week.

[sayak-brm]

Okay sure. On a side note, I'm working on updating this library to more recent standards (ESpeak-NG) by the end of this month.

[sayak-brm]

Be sure to check out the newer releases for this library. You can install the latest version by using the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install espeak-ng
pip install espeakng

Don't forget to remove any older version before doing this.
