Detailed Description

Flite text to speech synthesizer only supports English and some Indian languages. For French and German support, the user should probably select Pico as their TTS engine. Unfortunately, Pico is currently not available as a choice because the default installer does not install the libttspico-utils package, which contains the pico2wave executable which is required for the pico-tts plugin.

Context

This is a pretty simple change that would allow French and German users to select a Text To Speech engine that works for their languages. There are other TTS engines that also support French and German, but Pico is fairly lightweight and is already included with Naomi by default.

Possible Implementation

Just add the libttspico-utils package to the apt_requirements.txt file. It would be nice also if the default tts engine would be set to Pico if French or German is selected as the language, or maybe just in general.
