| the espeak makefiles don't cater for (e.g. different wxWidgets version) | |||
| and detect the available audio setup to use automatically. | |||
| ### Audio Output Configuration | |||
| The following `configure` options control which audio interfaces to use: | |||
| | Option | Audio Interfaces | Default | | |||
| |---------------------|------------------|---------| | |||
| | `--with-pulseaudio` | PulseAudio | yes | | |||
| | `--with-portaudio` | PortAudio | yes | | |||
| | `--with-sada` | SADA (Solaris) | no | | |||
| If pulseaudio and portaudio are both enabled and available, eSpeak will choose | |||
| which one to use at runtime, trying pulseaudio first before falling back to | |||
| portaudio. | |||
| ### eSpeak Feature Configuration | |||
| The following `configure` options control which eSpeak features are enabled: | |||
| | Option | Description | Default | | |||
| |-----------------|----------------------------------------------|---------| | |||
| | `--with-klatt` | Enable Klatt formant synthesis. | yes | | |||
| | `--with-mbrola` | Enable MBROLA voice support. | yes | | |||
| | `--with-sonic` | Use the sonic library to support higher WPM. | yes | | |||
| | `--with-async` | Enable asynchronous commands. | yes | | |||
| ### Extended Dictionary Configuration | |||
| The following `configure` options control which of the extended dictionary files | |||
| to build: | |||
| | Option | Extended Dictionary | Default | | |||
| |----------------------|---------------------|---------| | |||
| | `--with-extdict-ru` | Russian | no | | |||
| | `--with-extdict-zh` | Mandarin Chinese | no | | |||
| | `--with-extdict-zhy` | Cantonese | no | | |||
| If the option has the value `no`, the extended dictionary is not built; instead, | |||
| the version from upstream espeak is build. If the option has the value `yes`, | |||
| the extended dictionary is built; that is, the extra data from | |||
| [http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/](http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/) | |||
| is used. | |||
| ## Testing | |||
| Before installing, you can test the built espeak using the following command: | |||
