espeak-ng on archlinux

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hello there,

It works for me here.
Did you install speech-dispatcher, alsa-utils and alsa-plugins? Did you
install pulseaudio and all related stuff as well?
I am using pipewire here, but it works without a hitch anyways.
If you're trying to get a screen reader running on the graphical user
interface, make sure to install orca as well.
Best regards.
Francisco.
