Hi, The service works as expected, e.g. systemctl start espeakup@en-us.service starts the US english voice. The problem is, varients do not work. systemctl start espeakup@en-us+m2.service just uses the default voice, British english, instead of the selected en-us and varient m2. I have read through the man page, and from what I gather, it should work. So, am I missing something, or have I found a bug? Attached is the service file.
