            Bug ID: 435889
           Summary: Add some config tool to change the voice and language
                    of the synthesizer
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kde.shieling at aleeas.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The voice synthesizer in Okular always "speaks" with a robotic sound and an
English accent that you can't understand at all (well, maybe the English do,
but for most people it's a torture). Is so awful that using it for more than 3
minutes at a time is a torture, and the problem is that there's no tool to
configure TTS in Okular's preferences, if you want to use TTS in Okular you are
tied to that horrendous sound.
So, could be added one simple interface to choose the voice, language, tone and
speed, especially the voice and language?

There are some open source projects that use Google's and IBM's even better
voices:

Would be posible to make Okular do the same and use good voices even if not
open source?


Greetings.
