Sonos TTS Voicers API - delay in hearing voices


AutoFrank

Question

Hi,

I'm using the 1.0.1b beta of the Sonos remote with the voicers API.

 

I have a basic test scene to develop voice usage in my system

 

From when I start the it takes between 8-9 seconds before I hear the sentence. The sonos mutes from when I start the scene

 

The code is a simple function

The actual code to "speak" is separate as this allows me to call it with the required sentence and not repeat all the code

 

The TTSEngineID code is from the forum here

Is there anybody else experiencing this type of delay (or perhaps its normal ??)

Is I used MP3's on my local NAS would it be faster?

 

Thanks

I'm using "fixed" MP3's on my NAS for this kind of things!

Way faster.

    Thanks Guest, I'll take that route as well.....

     

    Could you share the code you use for the MP3 approach ?

    What app do you use to trim the last part of the MP3 /

    There is a good choice of voice types and nothing to trim at the end.......

    Will stick with text2speech for now.

    For the records.. I'm using Audacity to edit the MP3's (see:

    Sure..

     

    1st my doorbell scene.
     

    Basically it waits for value 152 to change (the doorbell button). When so, it will populate the global variable MP3_Sonos to the needed MP3 to be played.

    After this it will push the "play" button in a VD to "play" it.

    Please login or register to see this code.

    My VD to actually play the populated MP3_Sonos global variable looks like this. (code is within a button of the VD)

    Hi Guest,

    I did a quick test last night and it works very well and the latency is down to a 1-2 seconds

     

    BTW - I notice that the Sonos x-object variable seems to be getting corrupted a bit. I'm not sure if its related to the TTS work or not

    Do you notice any issue with your implementation ?
