I can´t get to work in Spanish from Mexico I think amazon.com.mx is like Italy server and the tts service doesn´t work yet. I am going to wait for future updates .
Only to confirm that TTS works also for Italian as for other languages.
In Alexa app, no choice for different phrases, so (apparently) the two issues are separated.
After a few tests, the following:
in history, the tts texts are reported as “simon says… text…”, while the digitalized texts taken directly from the dot device are without “simon says…”
i wasn’t able to send by tts a command such as “what time is it”, but perhaps the info is hidden in the 1308 messages before this one…
So we can use it to say custom phrases from media_player? I will try on sunday when at home to confirm this, it was not working until yesterday evening for sure
On my Echo Plus and Echo Spot still doesn’t work…
If i try to send a custom text from the frontend, my Echo Spot answers saying in english:
" Sorry, text to speech cannot be read with the alexa tts media player service"
If using the UI services menu it says nothing…
I just set this up and all is working. I’d like to be able to send TTS to my “everywhere” group, but when I do it, it does not work. I see my media_player.everywhere entity, and this reflects the group I have set up in the Alexa app.
Does TTS not work when targeted at a “group” device? It works fine when I target an individual echo.
