You're banging your head against the ceiling of your own knowledge.
All of the repositories of free and Open Source software available on
all distributions of Linux contain software which installs very easily
and comfortably.
There are things which are not accessible. There are also things which
run on Windows which are not accessible, even with the Windows internal
screen reader, Narrator.
Why are you so focused on particular voices? What is wrong with eSpeak?
Your first language is obviously English, and eSpeak does English very
well indeed, and what is more it is a very small footprint, and does not
require a working Internet connection to work.
I don't understand why so many people don't like using eSpeak. Before I
went blind, I did not spend all day bitching about the wallpaper on my
desktop, I just got on with being productive.
If something does not work, I find out why, filling holes in my
knowledge as I go.
I don't sit in front of Linux expecting everything to be spoon-fed to me.
Linux is not backed by billion dollar companies with billion dollar
development budgets.
I think it is the Voxin voices you are trying to install, I might be
wrong. If it is, then I also think Voxin is not free, it is certainly
not Open Source.
If you hate Linux so much, I suggest you scuttle back to Windows, or
Mac, and let Apple and Microsoft hoover up your data while you use them.
Alternatively, you could roll up your sleeves and learn a lot of stuff
by trying to work out what is going on.

Hello.
I've tried all the tips that was given to me on here, and none of them are
working at all.
I even went to try installing a Cepstral voice selecting Arm and David as the
voice. I had to download the package with my windows since for some reason,
you can not download any of their voice with chromium, I can get to the
voices and clicking on David does nothing.
So I downloaded the voice on windows put on thumb drive transferred the file
to the raspberry pie 400 and extracted, then ran the install file and type in
yes and nothing, just a bunch of text running down and then it goes yyyyyyy
yyyyyy.
This is really showing how lame Linux is, and why it never became main
stream, something as simple as installing a program, voice and so forth
should not be so stupidly dumb to work. It’s 2021, where is the smart in
smart devices? Seemed like its going backwards. Even Basic 101 was smarter
than this.
Anyhow, sorry about my ranting. I just want one simple voice installed and
its David, or foxen. That’s all I want working on the thing, otherwise it’s
a piece of junk OS and isn't worth messing with.
