The `picotts` text-to-speech platform uses offline pico Text-to-Speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
|
|
This requires to install the pico tts library on the system, typically on debian just do `sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils`
|
|
On some raspbian release, this package is missing but you can just copy the arm deb package from debian.
|
|
|
|
To enable text-to-speech with Pico, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
tts:
|
|
- platform: picotts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **language** (*Optional*): The language to use. Defaults to `en-US`.
|
|
Supported languages : 'en-US', 'en-GB', 'de-DE', 'es-ES', 'fr-FR', 'it-IT'
|
|
|
|
