Sure, I can do that I’ll see if I can get it up today.
I’m not familiar enough with that add-on, but it shouldn’t require anything special (you can ignore the --device stuff if you’re using using the MaryTTS API).
I’ll create a Hass.io add-on for it specifically soon.
That would be great! I just created a container on my syno in docker. I am able to to access the frontend and when I try some words, it states synthese, and then stops the container. Unable to connect to network. Looking forward to an add-on!
Interesting. Do I assume correctly that this will output the audio on the device itself? Or is there an option to send it to a Google Home for example?
The one with the Dutch flag is the voice. At the moment, this only works on x86_64 machines. I’m working on Raspberry Pi builds, but they’re being especially stubborn about PyTorch.
Anyone is welcome to volunteer their voice I’ve been working with folks in the Rhasspy community to cultivate a set of 1,139 Dutch sentences that are phonetically rich (good coverage of Dutch sounds). This is so you don’t have to read so many sentences (rdh generously donated 15,000!)
If you have a good microphone (I use a Blue Yeti Nano) and a computer that can run Python and arecord or sox, you can contribute. I wrote a small voice-recorder Python app for doing this. It’s compatible with the Dutch prompts file. All recording happens locally, so we have to coordinate afterwards to exchange the files.
Importantly, I ask that you either release the audio data into the public domain or use an appropriate Creative Commons license (rdh used CC-0). Of course, you’re always free to keep your files private and train your own model.
Small update: the Dutch voice add-on should now run on the Raspberry Pi 2, 3, and 4 (armhf, aarch64). It’s quite slow of a Pi 3 (several seconds to synthesize a small sentence), but it automatically caches generated audio, so it will be quick if you often re-use sentences.
Choose the upper-left one with the Dutch flag (if you want the Dutch voice). Then add that YAML snippet to your configuration.yaml file and reload Home Assistant.
Once the add-on in started, you should be able to open its web UI and try it out. It can take a few seconds to start, so it might not be available immediately.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I am unable to install the add-on, it throws an error. This might be because I am running an unsupported installation of Home Assistant on Ubuntu 18.04. I’ll fix that in the near future and will try installing the voice then.
I’ll see if I can get it up today.
