Test and select desired language/voice for your TTS. This variable will store the text you want to convert to speech, whatever is there, the system will speak when you press TTS button of the VD Please read the whole instruction carefully before you start.ĭefine the global variable “PAMessage” in your HC2 (top part of the Variables’ Panel): It was not tested with Google Chromcast (as I do not have any) but this is supported by Airfoil.
#MAC OS X TTS VOICES SOFTWARE#
The presented solution was tested with the following software versions / hardware : (if one wants to have TTS on mobile device)
#MAC OS X TTS VOICES ANDROID#
iOS or Android device with Airfoil Speakers installed Mac, Windows or Linux computer with Airfoil Satellite installed Speakers/audio receivers (any from the list of compatible devices) : Fibaro TTS Bridge application for OS X by Marcin S. Airfoil by Rouge Amoeba application installed on Mac - for TTS it is OK to use free demo version Some LUA experience to fine tune VD on HC2 and have your user defined TTS messages in your scenes 10.12.2 (macOS Sierra) are listed in Paragraph 2 below. The supported languages/voices of OS X v. Windows computers (with installed app to become AirPlay compatible) The supported speakers/devices/protocols are as for now : Integration of iTunes with and HC2 was discussed and published here : If you use the iTunes VD it is also possible to distribute music. The volume of each speaker can be individually adjusted from HC2 (Volume range from 0 to 100 %) so it is possible to select in which room/rooms you hear the voice announcement. You can have installed all over your place a number of speakers. The other advantage is that we are independent on internet connection and there are no charges for TTS processing. To change text into speech I used “SAY” command of OS X. It uses the text synthesizer (TTS) which we have already implemented in our computers and which can speak in variety of languages – also those not supported by VoiceRSS. I have noticed that wide used solution for TTS and multiroom is to use Sonos speakers (probably because of the Fibaro plugin available) and VoiceRSS ( ). I hope that this guide let you setup TTS on your Fibaro HC2 and Mac computers. That is also the reason why I decided to publish it in the new thread. I call it “second approach” rather then second version because it uses different mechanism to control audio of the computer, however the goal remain the same. I am happy to present my second approach for TTS (Text To Speech) and multi room audio for Fibaro HC2 and Apple OS X computer.

The Speech Synthesis Manager, sometimes known as Say (after the say command-line tool), is a built-in interface in Apple’s Mac OS X operating system to allow desktop programs like AwesomeTTS access to voices for text-to-speech playback.
