			|  |  |  | The **espeak-ng** project works as a drop-in replacement for **espeak**, with | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | a few caveats. More specifically: | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 
 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. The installation creates compatibility symlinks mapping _espeak_, _speak_ and _libespeak.la_ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | to their _espeak-ng_ equivalents. These are optional if you just want to install _espeak-ng_ and | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | have an _espeak_ package with the _espeak_ code and an _espeak-ng-compatibility_ package that installs the symlinks. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. The installation creates compatibility symlinks mapping _espeak_, _speak_ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | and _libespeak.la_ to their _espeak-ng_ equivalents. These are optional if | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | you are packaging _espeak_ using the upstream eSpeak code, and can be | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | handled in distributions in other ways, such as the | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | [Debian Alternatives](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianAlternatives) system. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 
 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. The command-line interface to _espeak-ng_ and _speak-ng_ are compatible, and will remain so, with espeak. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 2. The command-line interface to _espeak-ng_ and _speak-ng_ are compatible | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | with the upstream versions and intend to remain so. Only new command | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | options will be added. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 
 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. The C API to _libespeak-ng.so_ will remain API and ABI compatible with libespeak.so. The only change _speak_lib.h_ is a change to the | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | _ESPEAK_API_ macro when building on Windows. All new APIs are being added to _espeak-ng/espeak_ng.h_. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 3. The C API to _libespeak-ng.so_ will remain API and ABI compatible with | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | _libespeak.so_. The only change `speak_lib.h` has is a change to the | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | `ESPEAK_API` macro when building on Windows. All new APIs are being added | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | to `espeak-ng/espeak_ng.h`. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 
 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. The _espeak-data_ files have been modified slightly. Currently _espeak-ng_ can read _espeak_ data, but _espeak_ cannot read _espeak-ng_ data, | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | because espeak-ng uses a different voice data so that both _espeak_ and _espeak-ng_ can be installed on the same machine without problems. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 4. The _espeak-data_ files have been modified slightly. Currently _espeak-ng_ | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | can read _espeak_ data, but _espeak_ cannot read _espeak-ng_ data, because |

			|  |  |  | 
 | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | 1. The _espeak-ng_ project does not include _espeakedit_. The voice data is built using the _espeak-ng_ command line itself. | 
		
	
		
			
			|  |  |  | Currently, to create and edit the voice data, you need _espekaedit_ from the _espeak_ project. |
