Changing default voice doesn't work with Infovox iVox (third party) voices about voices

[mklement0]

Thanks for letting me know - quite frankly, I wasn't even aware of third-party voice.

Unfortunately, the iVox voices are installed in nonstandard locations and use a nonstandard bundle structure (the problem is not the fact that the voice names contain spaces).

I took a quick look, but I cannot figure out how to obtain the necessary internal information about the voices that is needed to make them the default voice (the numerical voice creator and voice ID properties).

At this point I'm afraid I can only document the limitation (which I've just done, both in this repo's read-me and in speak.awf's).

If you know how to obtain the voice internals using command-line tools, do let me know.

Thanks a lot for investigating! I'm afraid I don't know how to obtain the iVox voice internals either. I think David Niemeijer from AssistiveWare might be able to help us out.

Of course I don't want to burden you with altering the script, but if you agree, I'd like to send him an e-mail and direct him to this conversation. Perhaps David knows the answer.

Thanks!

Please do send that email. If it's not too hard, I'm happy to adapt my script

Thanks! I'm awaiting their reply ;)
