Steps to reproduce:
I 'bought' the following game from free from the Epic Store:
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/orwell-keeping-an-eye-on-you
It's only free for this week, but I presume the same issue will happen any of the 2 games that Epic is giving away in whatever week you are reading this. Or for any other non-free purchase you make.
So: 1. Login using an account (register for free if don't have one). 2. On a current 'free game' page click on the "GET" button. 3. I confirmed my purchase (can't remember the exact button but it's very obvious). 4. I got an error message at the top of the page.
Actual results:
Just above the top of the page (seemingly at the bottom of the UI bar) I got this message:
"You can’t use speech synthesis because the Speech Dispatcher library is missing."
Clicking the "Learn More" link after that message took me to this page:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/speechd-setup?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
That page advises me that "Installing speech dispatcher should help.", but I presume the Flatpak should already come with it (and I presume that installing the libraries on Linux would not help since Flatpaks are self-contained as far as libraries go).
Expected results:
I presume there would have been no error message, and instead I'd have heard some kind of voice message.

This seems to be dupe of Bug 1638150.
Closing it based on this.
