Anyway possible using Svox Classic TTS engine with Ubuntu?

[Peter Vágner]

Hello,
Most likelly you have been working with kobaspeech voices as this is the 
way to get the realspeak voices as sapi5. They are however implemented 
slightly differently than most other voices e.g. acapella. There was 
also an issue with loading kobaspeech voices in NVDA.
I will try to look up info about your project and test it here whether 
this is the same issue. If yes then we might be able to port the fix 
from NVDA.

Greetings

Peter
