New TTS engine: Microsoft Translator

Thanks again for your help. Without your “insider” status, it would have been a while, if ever, to find a resolution.[/quote]

You bet! My pleasure!

[quote=“lolodomo, post:131, topic:188264”]I have finally added a parameter “Microsoft option”. By default, the parameter is empty and the result will be a small audio file and no gender specified.
You can set in the plugin UI one of these values: “Male”, “Female”, “MinSize|Male”, “MinSize|Female”, “MaxQuality|Male”, “MaxQuality|Female”.

You will have to upload 4 files I have updated: I_Sonos1.xml J_Sonos1.js L_SonosTTS.lua S_Sonos1.xml

I did try to update also, but failed . Result was total silence from MS TTS if I try via the test bottom from the device or via running the scene. I can see the Microsoft option parameter on the sonos device TTS parameters so atleast part of the fix has entered the system. I did restore vera settings from the backup and vera works now as earlier.

It must have been me doing someting wrong during file load, possible the .js file. I will give this a second try during weekend. Thanks anyway.

update 5.3.2016 It works now after I did get the files from zip-file

My code is built up as several seperate calls; every sentence is one “luup.call_action…”

This morning it went well with the MS TTS. All the sentences came fluently. The only thing I already noticed before: MS does not recognize digits: 2.5 degrees is spoken as “two five” whereas Google TTS “two point five”

Will this latest change be going to the app store or do we need to upload the four files. Thanks

I don t know why but, i get this error:

Error executing function Sonos_showTTS():

After you downloaded the ZIP file and extracted it, did you upload all 4 files with date 3/1/2016 to Vera and restarted LUUP?

ok Thanks now it work, i was trying to downlod files one by one instead zip achive.

THANK YOU GUYS… worked like a charm! ;D

I just can’t get it (Microsoft) to work consistently. Yesterday I tried it out, both english and swedish worked in all my units but today, nothing. I’ve checked client ID and Client secret and they are identical. I’m all out of ideas.

Did you subscribe to the free 2 million characters ?

Yes. I’ve use 195.

I updated the Sonos app in the Vera, and then I could hear what I typed within the app. Then I tried to run a scene which didn’t work. And after that, back to square one, silent.

Hi

Is anyone using this from UK? I try to register and get this message in the portal:

Not available in your market

Cheers

@Loldomo,
Per chance do we still have to manually load the files (per your earlier thread), or is this now in the latest version of the SONOS plugin? Mike

MNB,

I got my unit yesterday and had to update the files because of the delay, after i updated the files everything works perfectly.

Side few days, I got ? new female French voice. Unfortunately the voice quality looks worse to me.
Did you notice a change ?

same here… haven’t looked into it yet.

Same for me, i use french canadian and now sometime really look like a computer :-[

The en-US female voice has changed as well. To me for the better as it now has a ‘perkyness’ to it, a bit less computery.

Agreed.

The en-CA female voice changed as well. I don’t like the new one, so I switched to en-US. Better even than the old en-CA.
