  • I stand corrected.

  • lolwtf

  • A cron job would not be a bad idea.

  • But if others take the chance and it sticks around a bit, I’ll come around ;-)

    Hey, like many bash scripts, this one is just a glorifief one-liner. But I use it everyday, I am biased, of course, but it is rather convenient, and prevents me from getting lost in rabbit holes.

  • given the number of stories I’ve heard (and experienced) about Bash’s tricky syntax leading to Bad Things,

    Been there, done that!

  • Thank you, I will definetely check it out.

  • Fair enough, you do you.

    For the record, no rm -r in the script.

    The only rm command, line 394: rm "${UEBERZUG_FIFO_MAGIC_TAPE}"

  • Thanks, any feedback is appreciated.

  • piper

    Indeed piper performs very well. Thank you for the input, I will most certainly consider adding the option to select tts engine in the near future, piper sounds totally worth it.

  • speech-dispatcher

    If you are referring to locally generated speech synthesis, the respecting outcome as far as I am concerned generally sounds generally poorer, and is more difficult to manage. However you can check out the original project https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo, where the audio files are generated locally.

  • Do you mean an option to choose between various tts methods?

  • And, as far as

     
            send-your-text-to-Microsoft bit
      

    goes, well, if MS wants a copy of Brothers Karamazov, they can save themselves the trouble and get it here , it is free https://www.gutenberg.org/

  • I totally undersand what you are saying. Initially, the original project used local text-to-speech, but was less than perfect, slower and cpu-costly.

    You can check it out here https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo

    Once a FOSS solution gets better and more usable, swapping the tts conversion is not a great deal.

  • As a matter of fact it is one of the scripts that I cannot do without, I use it everyday, it is very convenient. But then again I wrote it myself, so I can't be objective.

  • Hey, I know the guy who wrote the script, he is great.

  • I have never tried it. But debian based + xfce, so you know what to expect.
