Hi all, Has anybody got a chumby (yet)? http://www.chumby.com/ It looks to have a great user interface and it accepts user written applets. Better still, the whole unit is designed to be "hacked" with it's spec's and software available. Lot's of possibilities. Andy. |

To start off, I see that the chumby could easily be used to play MH sounds and speech. I just spent the weekend adding remote Linux machine support via rooms (that is, each linux machine is defined as a room), distantly similar to how the Audrey code works. According to http://wiki.chumby.com/mediawiki/index.php/Chumby_Software_Applications%2C_Scripts_and_Tools, chumby has all the same tools my remote linux code needs...sshd running on the target and aplay (to play sounds). Chumby might require a new interface because I haven't seen anything about a web browser to reach the ia5 interface.

I have modified the xAP speech code to support festival, flite and swift... It's attached if anyone wants to use it.

I have finally got my hands on a "chumby" down here in Australia. It is certainly a very cool little device. The openness of the system is great and definitely worth some time. It appears to be the perfect "bedside" interface to MH. Has anybody else started any work on the chumby yet? I think my first goal is to get PA announcements through it. Of course, text to speech conversion needs to be done on a larger computer. The next goal will be some form of Flash interface to MH.... Andy.

I think someone had worked on a Flash interface a few years ago...might just be a version that would work on the Chumby...think I remember it being a version or two behind.

This looks like a good start. The chumby has some particular requirements of it's flash widgets. We will have to look into what those are. That is definitely a nice interface and very good start for what the chumby needs. At the moment, I would like voice announcements to work on the chumby. I like to pick the low hanging fruit first. Chumby supports aplay and even NFS mounts. I haven't used the voice subsystem of MH before, so it is going to take a while for me to catch up and see what features are available. Andy.

Enable the module called xAP_pa_control.pl and then define your xAP systems in your items.mht like so: PA, mi4.speech.computername, room_name, all|default, tts.speak, xap Don't forget that you must separately run a hub on each windows system along w/ the mi4 speech app. Also, make sure that you are *not* also enabling xAP_send.pl; or, if you do then you have to disable the "broadcasted" (i.e., non-targeted) xAP speech since the above mechanism causes targeted xAP messaging. > Eventually, it would be ideal if I could > make each of the sound cards on each of those PCs different rooms. That would be very easy if James (the mi4 author) would allow devices (cards) to be addressable via xAP's subaddressing mechanism. As an example: PA, mi4.speech.computername:card1, room_name, all|default, tts.speak, xap Often, he has been very receptive toward updates/improvements (the event system exists because I asked). So, once you are ready, just make the request on the xAP user forum. If he can't/won't make the change, then possibly I could update the PAobj lib to accomodate "virtual" subaddresses (a remap of subaddress to a device name). Getting James to make the mode to his app is the "correct" way to do this in xAP, however. > Can you point me towards any documentation on the event system in xAP > Speech? It doesn't yet exist on James' (mi4.biz) site. I'll work on putting something together that illustrates how I use it and what I know. Gregg |

Hello, I have a question about xAP-Speech on Windows. It looks like the xAP Speech app for Windows (from Mi4.biz) doesn't support the rooms parameter. It looks like the xAP-speech.pl application does, but it is only for Linux. If this is correct, I think I'm going to modify xAP-speech.pl to support Windows. I'd have to use a 3rd party GPL command line TTS app called ptts since Windows has no built in command line TTS. Does this sound like a good idea? Thanks, Dan |

The mh rooms param is mapped to the "event" xAP parm which is used by xAPSpeech's event system. I use this to send out xAP BSC messages to control my PA relays. If instead you want to control individual cards that xAPSpeech can affect, then you use mh "cards" param which then maps to the xAPSpeech "device". It sounds somewhat like you want to do the latter. If you instead need the mh rooms param to map to the xAPSpeech "device" param, then I could add logic that would allow a ini parm to affect the changed operation. > It > looks like the xAP-speech.pl application does, but it is only for Linux.

I personally really like the xAPSpeech app (which runs as a service)--mostly because of it's priority message support. For example, some long-winded weather report can be pre-empted by a callerid announcement. The flexible event system is also a huge plus. So, while I wouldn't say "don't do that", I personally think it would be an inferior solution. Gregg |

I should also point out that if, instead, what you want to do is to treat each install of xAPSpeech (on separate computers) as a "room", then that is supported completely differently. I plan to create a xAP - Speech article on the wiki fairly soon. So, depending upon how/what you want to do, I'll try to focus on that first. Gregg |

Gregg, I believe my first attempt will be to use xAP Speech on different PCs to correspond to different rooms. Eventually, it would be ideal if I could make each of the sound cards on each of those PCs different rooms. Can you point me towards any documentation on the event system in xAP Speech?

I think your approach is a bit overly simplistic and likely to not work as well as desired. So, the proper approach is more work; but, the progress on the above makes me think it's not too onerous.

Rather than 'overly simplistic', I like to think of the idea as 'a great place to build from' :) On 2/29/08, Gregg Liming <gr...@li...> wrote: > H Plato wrote: > > I can help -- I'm just not in front of a mac right now. :) > > FWIW: I found code/common/mac_speak.pl and have grabbed a copy that is > now been modified to make it work as a stand-alone script.

I think the 'say' command uses the built in tts. Is the script platform independant?

Care to test with one of your macs gregg :) I just knew that my responding would come back around to more work ;) It appears to be spread across a bit of bin/mh and lib/Voice_Text.pm. I'll see if I can yank out enough to make a client work. Gregg |

I can help -- I'm just not in front of a mac right now. :) Ideally the mac xap speech listener would be a portable perl script...similar to the xap connector stuff. This could provide a more flexible distributed speech system for linux, pc's, macs as well as the nokia 770 thread that's going on right now. ie a config entry tts_cmd_line = say %s for macs, tts_cmd_line = flite %s for the 770, etc... Or is this even _more_ work.... On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 3:21 PM, Gregg Liming <gr...@li...> wrote: > H Plato wrote: > > I think the 'say' command uses the built in tts.

I'll try it out on my wifes macs this weekend. I never though to do so, since I am rarely allowed to touch them. :) Tim On Fri, February 29, 2008 17:49, H Plato wrote: > I can help -- I'm just not in front of a mac right now. :) > > Ideally the mac xap speech listener would be a portable perl > script...similar to the xap connector stuff.
