Performs text-to-speech
This agent provides a Text To Speech functionality and allows you to play back random text on your computer. It also provides some commands for people to do that. Naturally, the TTS won't happen on their end, but nevertheless this can be useful for situations like a stream, where the other users will see and hear your screen. The available functions and commands should be self-explanatory, so see the symbol index.
TALKThis agent provides text-to-speech reading.
TALK-ENTALK-LANG(GET-SPEECH-STREAMTEXT LANGUAGE) Attempts to translate the text into the language using Google Translate TTS. If successful, returns a stream to the MP3 file returned by the API. If unsuccessful, an error is signalled. Note that only some languages are supported, and that only text up to 200 characters is allowed. See LANGUAGE-CODE
(PLAY-FILEFILE &KEY OUTPUT) Play back the given MP3 file on the given output. If output is not given, a new one is constructed. See CL-MPG123:CONNECT See CL-OUT123:PLAY See WITH-OUTPUT
(TALKTEXT &KEY (LANGUAGE "en-US") OUTPUT) Speak the given text back. If the text is too long for the TTS API it is split up into multiple requests. Thus there might be an occasional gap where a new request and playback is started in the middle of the text. See SPLIT-WORD-BOUNDARY See PLAY-FILE
(WITH-OUTPUT&REST ARGS) Wrap the body in an environment where OUT is a cl-out123:output that is ready for playback. See CL-OUT123:CONNECT See CL-OUT123:START
(WITH-SPEECH-FILE&REST ARGS) Wrap the body in an env where PATH is a pathname to an MP3 file. See CALL-WITH-SPEECH-FILE
