guidol Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 I like it to anounce some messages/informations via TTS ( T(text)T(o)(S)peech) . Normally I use espeak with a litte better sounding mbrola-voice (No. 6 german). But on Android you could buy - for cheap againt the PC-version - some better voices. Like my favourite german Voice "Julia" from Acapela. So I always wanted to use this voice for the informations. I did found a "server"-app for android which takes a UDP/HTTP-request to play a given string via the default TTS on the android-device (or a .MP3 stored in the memory of the android-device). Its named Home24-MediaPlayer - and can be found at (isnt anymore in the Google PlayStore for me - only the Home24-App for Smartphone or Tablet): http://www.home-24.net/index.php?page=sites/home.php&app=mediahttp://www.home-24.net/app/Home24-MediaPlayer.apk You could give the android-device the request via HTTP or UDP from your armbian-commandline or shell-script: # HTTP samples curl http://192.168.6.12:50000/tts='This is a Test' 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null wget http://192.168.6.12:50000/tts='This is a Test' 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null wget http://192.168.6.12:50000/track=MySong.mp3 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null # UDP samples echo 'tts=This is a Test'|nc -w 0 -u 192.168.6.12 50002 echo 'track=MySong.mp3'|nc -w 0 -u 192.168.6.12 50002 The Message could combine many commands in one line (also in HTTP/UDP): track=Alarm.mp3|tts=Alarm|sms=0150123456&message=Alarm see also the Wiki for the Home24-MediaPlayer:http://www.home-24.net/wiki/index.php?title=Home24-MediaPlayer On my Smartphone it also does work, but when the screen and the device goes to sleep it wouldnt work anymore. So I did think about a device without a battery and did try a Orange Pi PC (H3) with H3Droid, but this was too slow for me - because the OPi PC always did work on the SD-Card (dont know if my card was too slow). I was hoping getting a better performance with the OPi PC because of the 1GB of Ram. [EDIT] ========================================================================= It was the card After the Minix NEO X5 - which did work without problems. I did gave the OPi PC a second chance with a brandnew 32GB Sandisk EVO. With this new card the access is now MUCH snappier I installed Acaplea's Julia and the Home24-MediaPlayer and its sounds - for me - a little bit better than the Minix NEO 5. PS: old card seems to be a Fake-SONY Class 10 card (or very old and used) ========================================================================= Now I will try a "old" Android-TVBox: Mini NEO X5 ( Dual Core RK3066 Cortex A9 1.6GHz , 1GB Ram / 16GB Flash). Does any one know another Android-App with a function like this?
