Closed prosenkiewicz closed 1 month ago

prosenkiewicz commented 5 years ago

As in title, I'm going to implement support for ivona TTS

JarbasAl commented 5 years ago

hey, have a look at this PR that does that https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core/pull/1550

prosenkiewicz commented 5 years ago

hi, well not exactly since the issue you posted is related to pyvona https://github.com/zbears/pyvona which is now depricated. But my implementation is for people who bought ivona binary back in the days. So they are able now to use ivona with mycroft as a deamon which is listening on certain address or simply by using it as comand.

Anyway my apologies for not describing that as precisely as I should from the start.

JarbasAl commented 5 years ago

i was mentioning it exactly because ivona is deprecated, i did not know about the daemon, any way to still get those?

prosenkiewicz commented 5 years ago

I don't know if you still can get ivona, since amazon bought IVO software so to get this it is necessary to ask amazon. Nonetheless it was possible before that happend, so there are still people who has it like company I work for and for these people this support might be useful.

JarbasAl commented 5 years ago

i agree it should be supported if it exists, i was just curious about using it myself! i like amazon voices

prosenkiewicz commented 5 years ago

Not long time ago it was available to download beta version of multiple languages of ivona from google shop and it should still be available to download from some apk mirrors. But I don't know what is the legal status of it for commercial use, for private user it should be fine.

my aim was to have a good sounding offline/self hosted voice, i don't want to rely on the cloud (unless it's my cloud!) :) thank you for the tips
