Hi,

I make a plugin JAR file to use Microsoft voice with Jampal (ptts). 

And you can use this voice: https://best-of-vox.com/windows

Is this interesting for you ?

If it is OK for MyRobotLab team, i give my java source.

My GitHub account on MRL doesn't work, i don't know why. You can see my directory dom14 but it is empty.

I speak we Steve, he put my code in his GitHub.

Dom.

Thanks dom14 & steveh110 :)

Well done.

A few notes :

We usually create a  static void main(String[] args) method for testing ..
I would imagine something like this for MicrosoftSpeech

I put the following in - its perhaps missing a key?
 

public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      LoggingFactory.init();
      MicrosoftSpeech mspeech = (MicrosoftSpeech) Runtime.start("msspeech", "MicrosoftSpeech");
      mspeech.speak("Bonjour, aujourd'hui, je parlerai d'un nouveau service");
      mspeech.speakBlocking("Maintenant j'utilise une nouvelle méthode");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      log.error("main threw", e);
    }
  }

This line is used to manage dependencies:

static public ServiceType getMetaData() {

    ServiceType meta = new ServiceType(MicrosoftSpeech.class.getCanonicalName());
    meta.addDescription("Speech synthesis based on Microsoft speech with Jampal.");
    meta.addCategory("speech");
    meta.setSponsor("Dom14");
    meta.addDependency("Jampal for windows", "2.1.6");
    return meta;
  }

The libraries are usually jars and we maintain the needed version in the repo project - 
https://github.com/MyRobotLab/repo 

But this looks like an exe ?

Or perhaps its this jar ?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/jampal/files/jampal/02.01.01/jampal-02…

?

 

OK I understand.

So you can remove meta.addDependency("Jampal for windows", "2.1.6"); because it is not a jar file.

Jampal (ptts.vbs) is an executable to read a text file with Microsoft speech. The voice is the default windows system voice. You can change voice in the windows parameters.

You can download jampal here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jampal/files/ and install it in your windows system. You must add jampal path in yours variables environnements of windows.

For the main, no problem, you can put this. For my test, i make a jar file with eclipse and i put the jar file in libraire/jar of MyRobotLab directory.

After my declaration is: mouth = Runtime.createAndStart("Voice", "MicrosoftSpeech")

and it is work nicely.
