I filed a bug: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2657
I can't get KTTSMgr to find any voices on two different installations on Stretch or two different installations on openSUSE 42.1. If it works for you, please tell me what you're running it on, and if you can, what I might be overlooking WRT to setup to make it work.
Sort of curious as to just what KTTS and friends were, I found it was apparently installed by default here on wheezy, and it only took 5 minutes worth of configuring to make it read a gcode file to me. Using the festival text to speech talker. But very difficult to understand, another, possibly high pitched voice would have been better, but I generally sing 2 octaves down from middle C, and this voice was actually below me. But it in effect, almost just worked. This was running ksayit, its front end.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
I don't think its worth using it, unless one is impaired and really needs some assistance. The monotone voice and errors were driving me crazy.
But I see over the years now we have more in debian (jessie) than before. I had to download and install from source most of it for my testing 10+y ago
@Felix I added some notes to the bug, please report back
