https://github.com/Iiridayn/pico-tts now improved. Apparently I deleted my prior comment. Well - repo has relevant documentation. Kk, created pico-tts repo - let me know if that solved your problem as it did mine (popping at end of audio, caused by the crash).

rien333: Thanks for noticing the issue. I'm getting it as well, but the error is happening after the .wav has been written, so it doesn't actually impact the program's functionality.

I don't think I can do much about this issue, since there's only ever been a binary version of svox/libpicotts available (through the ubuntu package repositories). Plus, it's 5 years old, which suggests that its development has been abandoned.

The road to fixing this bug will be rocky. :)

Running this gives me:

$ pico2wave -w lookdave.wav "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this." free(): invalid pointer Aborted (core dumped)

This package should be in the official repo, it's the only TTS engine that generates very convincing human voice.

Hello,

i made a patch for the PKGBUILD to include the devel headers from libttspico-dev. They are needed to build speech-dispatcher-git with pico support. It allows to use picotts for Firefox narrate mode instead of crappy espeak.
