speech-to-text? text-to-speech?

taylorchu · 2013-04-14 20:00:42

this is a project that allows your archbox to speak and hear. It has two components: text-to-speech and speech-to-text.

some examples for speech-to-text:

speech-to-text <lang_code> <duration> // default english, 4

[march@localhost ~]$ speech-to-text 
today is Sunday
[march@localhost ~]$ speech-to-text zh-CN
今天是星期天
[march@localhost ~]$ speech-to-text ja
今日はいい天気です

some examples for text-to-speech:

text-to-speech <lang_code> // default english

[march@localhost ~]$ echo S\'il vous plaît | text-to-speech fr
[march@localhost ~]$ echo Est-ce que vous parlez anglais? | text-to-speech fr
[march@localhost ~]$ echo 你好嗎 | text-to-speech zh_tw
[march@localhost ~]$ echo 呵呵 | text-to-speech zh-cn

// you can also pipe in the full article
text-to-speech < test.txt

Wait a minute... Are you telling me you just casually made an open source spoken (via microphone) speech-to-text converter, the type of which nothing else currently exists, for Linux?

No he just made a bash script using google's different services (translate, speech etc.). I was shocked for a second too.

Oh, I see. Even so, this seems incredibly useful! My coworker just showed me the speech-to-text feature on his Android phone, and it appears to work very well.

I've been looking for something like this for a while. The more I think about speech-to-text functionality, the more use cases pop into my head.

google has done a great job. I test japanese, chinese and english speech-to-text, and they all work really well.
if you are smart, you can create a notebook program with my "speech-to-text". At least I got it to work with vim and secretly took notes in class.

This is a great package. Very easy to plug it into scripts involving tts. Thanks!

Very cool.

I revived this project with the new implementation.

emacsomancer · 2015-05-02 19:14:19

Can you explain how the new implementation works? I mean, how to use it? The old input methods don't work.

That is, if I just want to be able to have it say "Hello, world" using the Google British English voice - how would I do that?

But doesn't the method supersede the keyboard?
Like android, we can see the dictation like we are typing it, is there a similar chance of use ?

@TheSaint

The rewrite just adds voice stop detection. The newer/unreleased version can do anything local on your machine, and can do that effectively.

Yes, I had read through that page already, but it's not clear to me how to replicate the old behaviour of something like:

echo hello world | text-to-speech en-gb

taylorchu · 2015-05-19 17:41:03

I see. I added them today.

echo hello world | text-to-speech -lang=en-gb

Thanks!

Hi there. Pretty cool package indeed! Would it be possible to add an option to save the resulting .wav in a single file? (Right now it seems the text chunks are only played in sequence)

What happened to this package? I can't find the upstream git repo either.
