Is it easy to install Voxin voices on Slint?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Ibrahim,

short answer: yes.

Just follow the instructions under Installation here:
https://oralux.org/index.php?mylang=en

And yes I think that Gilles Casse send instructions, in any case
he provides support: contact at oralux.com
Feel free to email him in French ;)

about the voxin voices, you could ask in the Slint mailing list, I just have
one voice for testing but several people there use Voxin voices

As a reminder:
