I have been trying to figure out why my test opensuse 15.3 system does not have the problem of the duplicate voices and the 15.3 system which I need for work does have the problem.  It seems that when I was able to install Jovie on the 15.3 test system it was because it came from an unsupported repo which installed some Qt5 Frameworks packages, but I can't figure out which ones.  And now that I look again that unsupported repo no longer has Jovie available.  Not sure where to go from here.

I'm betting that since kmouth and okular do not tell QtSpeech which voice to use it's using some default that isn't ideal. Were you ever able to get hello_speak example to work? With it you can select each voice that QtSpeech knows about and probably see what default it's using for a given language. Here when I open it on my opensuse 15.2 vm it starts with English, but has some west indies voice as the default which pronounces everything strangely. If I change it to another english voice it all sounds the same as spd-say.

And do likewise for KMouth with the other improvements I'll do to KMouth. I think once you're able to select a voice (and language) in those just like in hello_speak it should be pretty straight forward to make it sound the way you want.
