Google voice in Wiki

[oopee]

Google translate https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Google_voice has changed resulting error 503 when using script from Wiki. Browser shows a captcha dialogue now.
To get it working again, a string "&ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&client=t" must be added to the script.
My current script for speaking Domoticz is now:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
say() { local IFS=+;/usr/bin/mplayer -ao alsa -really-quiet -noconsolecontrols "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=fi&q=$*&ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&client=t"; }
say $*

There may be other (better?) ways to fix this issue but this was the first I found.

Thnx! Was looking for this for my Bluetooth speaker

Feel free to change the wiki, login credentials are the same as for this forum

Thanks for reporting.

Too bad...it does not work for me:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/btaudio $ wget "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=nl&q=test&ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&client=t"

If you try your string (from same network as your Domoticz) http://translate.google.com/translate_t ... 0&client=t in browser, do you get it spoken and without captcha?
My error was 503, not 403. Without the added part, do you get 503?

[pvm]

Yes I do, I seem to have another issue. I am able to download files from the internet on my Pi. Internet access seems ok

It might be that with WGET you need to fake some HTTP headers if possible. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9893 ... speech-api.

Thnx, the following produces a valid mp3 file

Code: Select all

curl 'http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&q=Hello&tl=en&client=t' -H 'Referer: http://translate.google.com/' -H 'User-Agent: stagefright/1.2 (Linux;Android 5.0)' > google_tts.mp3

[pvm]

I added this information to the google_voice wiki page

[uNGam3R]

Thanks, your solution works great

[BobbyNL]

is there someone who can create a working google_voice.sh file and a sample script_device_switch.lua?

i have sound working on my rpi (can play a mp3 file with mplayer) but google.translate produces no sound even when the script is triggered.
So i think my google_voice.sh and script_device_switch isnt correct.

[BobbyNL]

Could not get it working with google text to speech because google blocks my ip after one request.
So I had to find another solution. Now it works with the voicerss api.

I created a wiki page how I did it: http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Rss_voice

[pvm]

Indeed Google blocks, thats why you can use:

Btw, Amazon its tts sounds better than googles. You need a free developers license though. I am using that one

[BobbyNL]

And what code do you use the bash file ?

What happend on command line (no script) if you produce the mp3 file and step 2 play it with mplayer?

[BobbyNL]

it works for a few requests. But after a while i get this error.

And opening the mp3 file. Looks clear to my that the server blocks my IP even with this mp3 (solution)

Google voice controls the number of call per IP. So if you have a dynamic IP, and are not lucky, you may be banned.
If so, use VoiceRSS. I have updated the wiki with a VoiceRSS howto, look here : https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Talking_Domoticz
