That was just a matter of time. The advice is to use MarySpeech that is Open Source.

It's at least the third time that non Open source services has stopped working.

First Google, then Acapela and now Natural ( same as Acapela )

Sad, but not un-expected.

So,  I found another open source speech system called "Mimic" from an open source project called MyCroft AI.  It's a native binary, but it does what we want it to.  I started the MimicSpeech service a while back, it's not complete, it currently only has a build for windows  (we can build for other platforms.)  the audio quality is decent.  

I think MarySpeech still is probably the best choice going forward.  If people want to pay for something, we could consider adding Amazon Polly API or some other commercial version.  It would be up to the end users to get their own license for it.

The problem with MarySpeech is that for French the voice is really very bad. I think it's good to have a commercial version like "http://www.voicerss.org/pricing/" that will be usable for users who feel like it.

 

Le problème avec MarySpeech est que pour le français la voix est vraiment très mauvaise. Je pense qu’il serai bon d’avoir une version commercial comme « http://www.voicerss.org/pricing/ » qui serai utilisable pour les utilisateur qui ont envie.

Doki, great idea about speech recognition.!!! It can replace webkitspeech the day after shutdown :)
With azure we can repair too translator service.

That great , we will have a lot of tts soon with voicerss + azure + amazon ...

 

 

 

I think we should focus on services that don't require being connected to the internet and services that are open source.  

This doesn't mean we can't include other services like google, amazon, or microsoft...  It's just a caution that if you rely on services that require the internet, your robot won't work properly if you're not connected to the internet.

 

 

Offline and Open Source is better when the Quality can keep up with it, i fully agree. 

And sure if you rely on the internet it has to be availible. 

But like for most Builders Inmoov is part of my Home/Garage and there i have a fast and stable internet connection. Maybe this changes when Gael publish the legs :)

For me it is more annoying when he doesnt listen :)
