I'm closing this bug since it enables a fairly obscure feature. flite isn't well maintained currently. I'm told spiel is better but it's not packaged yet.
I was told Fedora enables speech synthesis in webkitgtk for the same reason Debian does: because flite is packaged. However in GNOME OS, speech synthesis is disabled in webkitgtk because nobody "packaged" it there. ** Changed in: flite (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2096940 Title: [MIR] flite To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flite/+bug/2096940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
