Another feedback : I would appreciate in a future version an option to don't keep the audio file after the playback. Indeed, some sentences will never come again. (like reading news).
(for saving some disk space)

Code: Select all

jin@jlt:~$ izsynth -h | grep keep
  -w                         Overwrite the synthesized file, otherwise keep it (current: no)

otherwise you can change the default behavior via izsynth.conf file:

set:

Code: Select all

PLAYBACK_RESYNTH="yes"

Read the domoticz wiki page to discover:

With kind regards

jmleglise wrote: Hi jin,

1/ That's not what I am meaning. I ask for an option to automatically remove the .wav in dev/shm after the playback. something like "-nocache"
It's not the purpose of -w => overwrite the file if the same sentence come again.
As my RPi never reboots, what will happen when the /dev/shm will become full ?

2/ And another feedback :
Your system can't handle sentences longer than the limit of file name length. (255). This is too short. As my system synthetizes news in the morning, I frequently need >400 chars.
So , for this kind of use, you may have an option, that use a short file name, and then delete it.

jin@jlt:~$ izsynth | grep Remove
  -r                         Remove synthesized file after playback

curl -s http://yournewssite.com | sed 's|</b>|-|g' | sed 's|<[^>]*>||g' > /dev/shm/news.txt
izsynth -i /dev/shm/news.txt

jmleglise wrote:Hi,

1/ Thank you for the "-r" . Great reactivity !

2/ For my second point (long sentence), using an intermediate file.txt is not convenient. In my Lua script, I am used to launch the TTS in a single command . For example, you can see my use here : http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 23&t=10923

So, can you advise me something to avoid this file.txt ? (ie : is it possible in linux to redirect the stdin to your -i parameter ?)

Or here is another idea as my 2 points are linked :
Short sentences : it 's usefull to cache them (good chance to get it again)
Very Long sentence : no need to cache. (and no need to use the sentence as the filename. This will remove the length limit).
So you may code a : if length(sentence)>255 then use filename "tmp.wav" and then remove it at the end ?

You see my idea ?

# - restored google tts support (limited to 160 chars max)
# - added -r option for removing synthesized file after playback
# - added support for stdin as input stream, example:
#   echo this is only a test | izsynth -

IMHO, it can be a nice app for mydomoticz, where can be a databse of common phrases which will be updated by domoticz users and shared to all.
As you may have some requests please add another one: ispeech! voices are not so natural but they have a variety of languages.

I get them if I execute izsynth without sudo (I followed the github and wiki to install it), is it correct that I need to launch it this way?

Thanks

ls -al /home/pi/.config/

chown pi:pi /home/pi/.config/

can you run:

sudo apt-get install file

izsynth is a bash script and it use many system commands to do the job, so these commands must be installed

just updated wiki, thanks!

let's me know is something is still missing.

kind regards

Yuo must add '&' at the end?
This is very strange... my domoticz installation works out of the box simply using

script://izsynth test message

from you domoticz directory, can you paste the output of:

Code: Select all

ls -al scripts/izsynth 

osmc@osmcsoverom:~/domoticz$ ls -al scripts/izsynth
