The eSpeak NG (Next Generation) Text-to-Speech program is an open source speech
synthesizer that supports [101 languages and accents](docs/languages.md).
It is based on the eSpeak engine created by Jonathan Duddington. It uses
spectral formant synthesis by default which sounds robotic, but can be
configured to use Klatt formant synthesis or MBROLA to give it a more natural
sound.

The *espeak-ng* binaries use the same command-line options as *espeak*, with
several additions to provide new functionality from *espeak-ng* such as specifying
the output audio device name to use. The build creates symlinks of `espeak` to
`espeak-ng`, and `speak` to `speak-ng`.
The espeak `speak_lib.h` include file is provided in `espeak-ng/speak_lib.h` with
an optional symlink in `espeak/speak_lib.h`. This file contains the espeak API as
of 1.48.15, with a change to the `ESPEAK_API` macro to fix building on Windows,
and some minor changes to the documentation comments. Thus, the C API is API and
ABI compatible with espeak.

The `espeak-data` data has been moved to `espeak-ng-data` to avoid conflicts with
espeak. There have been various changes to the voice, dictionary and phoneme files
