Make use of Sin-Ji Cantonese TTS on OSX #52

Open jago25 opened 5 years ago

jago25 commented 5 years ago

AwesomeTTS has Sin-Ji (zh-HK) on OSX. Android has TTS support via Google yue-Hant-HK and some other speech engines too, like Ekho.

For Google TTS the locale is: new Locale("yue", "HK"); //yue for 粤语

This addon should be able to use a Cantonese text to speech engine.

Last I checked, Google had discontinued Cantonese TTS support through the public API. Has this changed?

I'll leave this open because it's a major missing feature, but it seems Google no longer provides access to Cantonese TTS through the public API.

Sin-Ji is a proprietary voice, which apparently OSX provides. I can look at adding support in the future, but for the moment it's a bit much to take on.
