Description
This test case ensures that the espeak-ng
text-to-speech engine functions correctly on Fedora.
Setup
- Ensure you have
espeak-ng
installed. If not, install it:sudo dnf install espeak-ng
How to test
- Open a terminal.
- Test a basic text-to-speech functionality by running:
espeak-ng "Hello, Fedora!"
- Experiment with different languages. For instance, to speak in Spanish:
espeak-ng -v es "Hola, Fedora!"
. - Change the speech rate to be faster:
espeak-ng -s 150 "Hello, Fedora!"
Expected Results
- The
espeak-ng "Hello, Fedora!"
command should audibly say "Hello, Fedora!" - When specifying a language using the
-v
flag,espeak-ng
should speak in that language's accent or tone. - Adjusting the speed with
-s
should cause the speech rate to change as specified.
Optional
You can further explore the tool by trying different languages, pitch changes, and even writing a simple script to read a longer text file.
