Text to Speech Programs Not Working

Post by russki_drewski »

Hi, I'm trying to get a specific program to work under Wine. It is NextUp TextAloud. It gives some error when I try to run it.

I've also tried to install the Windows version of espeak and it won't work under Wine either. So I think there is something different that the text to speech programs use that Wine doesn't like. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get this to work?

Thanks!

Wine version? If it's not the latest development release, upgrade.

Have you installed the Microsoft text to speech engine?

I have the latest stable release. I just barely installed the MS text to speech engine and it still didn't work(I didn't know it could be downloaded until now). Do you think the development version would be better?

After upgrading to the development release I still get the same error:

Error initializing espeak. Shutting down.


Thx for the help!

console output

Post by russki_drewski »

Here's the output from the things that I did.

I posting the output from espeak because it is a simpler program, and anyone can access it to test on, as it is open source. I'm hoping if espeak will work, so will my other program.

Code: Select all

msttss22l.exe install: (MS speech engine)
	fixme:advpack:set_ldids Need to support changing paths - default will be used
	fixme:advpack:set_ldids Need to support changing paths - default will be used
	
when installing espeak:
	fixme:win:DisableProcessWindowsGhosting : stub
	fixme:sfc:SfcIsFileProtected ((nil), L"C:\\Program Files\\eSpeak\\unins000.exe") stub
	
when running espeak:
	err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {96749377-3391-11d2-9ee3-00c04f797396} not registered
	err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {96749377-3391-11d2-9ee3-00c04f797396} not registered
	err:ole:create_server class {96749377-3391-11d2-9ee3-00c04f797396} not registered
	fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported
	err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {96749377-3391-11d2-9ee3-00c04f797396} could be created for context 0x17
