Re: [slim] Overlaying current track with text to speech
Hi Once you have the file and you can make your app launch an application\command line you could use what is written in this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26293 I don't know if it still works but can't think that it doesnt. Cheers Louis BTW it doesn't overlay but immediately plays the file you send to it. -- lrossouw 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61619 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Overlaying current track with text to speech
Guys, tnx for you feedback. Was on a business trip and hat honestly no time to read your replies. Appologies. @jaysung: The text2speech engine I use is swift. It has several voices in different languages. You can test it for free. It produces some nag text bevor your text is spoken. If you invest $15 this nag text/speech goes away. @agillis: I dont use softsqueeze on the machine as it is in the living room together with a squeeze box. Does not really make sense. @Mick Seymour: No the machine is called appolon (the greek god of the light ;). @matthijskoopmans: I dont want it to be played at the end of the song. it should overlay. -- RaK RaK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7855 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61619 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Overlaying current track with text to speech
Would be very helpful for blind people as well. We would need to have the track piped through an external app which would perform the mixing. ecasound under linux would be able to do it in batch mode I guess. What sort of speech engine do you use? -- jaysung jaysung's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12375 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61619 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Overlaying current track with text to speech
You say you have speakers connected to your machine. Are you running SqueezeSlave on the machine or something? I do that with VortexBox, run SqueezeSlave locally and use that as part of my multizone Audio. In that case you can just play the music through a soft mixer attached to the sound card. You don't need to do anything to SC or SrueezeSlave. This will not work if your using a hardware player such as a SqueezeBox. -- agillis rip, tag, get cover artÂ… All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61619 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Overlaying current track with text to speech
if you are able to have it as an mp3 file, then you could write (or have someone write) a plug in that puts this mp3 file in your playlist after the current track (add next)... I don't exactly know how SC streams, but if the file name and location remain the same, you could potentially have the TTS mp3 every alternating track, while a track is playing, the TTS mp3 is overwritten with the new text to speech data (i.e. new song announcement...)? -- matthijskoopmans LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mattkoop LastFM: http://www.last.fm/user/matthijskoopmans/ matthijskoopmans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61619 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Interesting idea. I presume the one in your house is called Proteus.
