Watson Text-to-speach stopped working #2

Open woj-tek opened 4 years ago

woj-tek commented 4 years ago

Recently (since a couple of days ago) attempts to use Watson service results in:

Cannot record the input phrase with these settings. 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'

lovac42 commented 4 years ago

Yeah I noticed, Bing as well. I'll find time to look into it, but these types of situations are going to happen a lot sadly.

woj-tek commented 4 years ago

I'm fully aware that they may and will happen - services do love changing their APIs. Just though I'll report it here "for the record" :-)

lovac42 commented 4 years ago

It looks like they removed the demo site. Not sure if it's permanent, so we'll have to wait and see. Except for Bing, I fixed up the other ones and did a new release. https://github.com/lovac42/awesometts-CCBC-addon/releases

Keep this open as a reminder so we could check up on it later.

Thanks for the update!

lovac42 commented 4 years ago

Seems the service is back online. So they took it offline to update the site from time to time.

woj-tek commented 4 years ago

Aaand it's gone again with:

Cannot preview the input phrase with these settings.

No response for web request

Demo website seems to still be there though, looking at the pricing maybe it could/would be a good idea to have it as an option? 10k characters monthly seems quite hefty

Fixed: https://github.com/lovac42/awesometts-CCBC-addon/releases/download/v1.18.2/awesometts_v1.18.2_Anki21.ankiaddon

I don't want to sign up for anything, as well as read though their API documentation & requirements. But I'll consider it if it keeps happening.

Thank you, it works like a charm!
