A script to convert text to speech using gTTS and save the output in G.711 µ-law format for Asterisk/Allstar systems.
The script will ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- Python 3.5.1
- pip 20.3.4
- ffmpeg 3.0
If you are installing in GMRSlive, some prerequisites are unmet, pip and gTTS.
will be downloaded and installed in your system the first time you run the script.
Using Putty sign in to the Pi you want to install this script in.
When the Admin Menu comes up choose option 9 Start the Bash shell interface
You should be seeing this now.
Type cd and enter. That will take you to the Root folder of the Pi
Step 1: Download the Repository. Run each command one by one. After entering each command hit enter.
git clone https://github.com/WROG208/Convert.Script.git
cd Convert.Script
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.shconvert.py --help
You will be prompted
Enter the text you want to convert to speech: "TEXT YOU WANT TO CONVERT TO SPEACH"
Enter the desired output file name (without extension): FILE NAME NET for a net announcement, news?
Do you want the speech in [E]nglish or [S]panish? - E FOR ENGLISH S FOR SPANISH
The script will run by making a WAV file first and converting that WAV file to .ul that asterisk can use.
After installation, you can use the script by running this command in the BASH-SHELL:
convert.py
The audio files will be saved to the folder /var/lib/asterisk/sounds sound files can be found easily by the OS.
[NOTE]***GSM files would be better, but ffmpeg version 3.0 doesn't have the ability to create GSM files unless it is updated and there are many hoops to jump to install it.
