[arm-allstar] tts help

[David McGough]

Doug,

I think the tts_audio2.sh code still has some issues. Here is a example 
code snippet that seems to work well....It needs to be integrated into the 
tts_audio script:


#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

export TTS_KEY='put your key here!'
export TTS_R='0'
export TTS_HL='en-us'
export TTS_F='ulaw_8khz_mono'
export TTS_C='WAV'
export FILE="This is a the time to test the voice R S S sotware A P I for functionality with long lines and lots of gibberish to chew on...Now the weather is stormy with a chance of hurricanes and tornados and other nasty conditions for the raleigh, fayettville, wilmington, clinton, burgaw, and morehead city areas. If you are out boating in Kerr lake, make sure to put your life preserver on to keep you safe after flying away in a water spout."


curl -s -G "http://api.voicerss.org/?key=${TTS_KEY}&r=${TTS_R}&hl=${TTS_HL}&f=${TTS_F}&c=${TTS_C}" --data-urlencode "src=${FILE}" > /tmp/audio.wav
RES=$?

sox /tmp/audio.wav /tmp/audio.ul
asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 1998 /tmp/audio"
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all the SD card size has nothing to do with it. It looks like you are might be exceeding the /tmp filesize. This might be OK to a degree but the ram is 1 GB and other things including the system reside there.

I suspect when Chris wrote the tts script it was not intended for extremely large files but rather shorter conversions.  While it could be written to the SD card instead of /tmp in the long run that would not be a good idea. You could change all references to /tmp/... in the script to /root/...  and see what happens. I would not leave it that way though.

    This is tough.. looking through the
      script. I tested some urls manually with content duplicating the
      curl option in the script. It works to download an mp3. I am
      confused with the "\"'s in the url in the script. The webpage
      seems to want those to go away.. I download the file if I remove
      most of them and if I don't it sees \ as part of the api key and
      rejects. I assume those are stripped by curl? I wish this was
      broken or fixed but with it working "sometimes" I am stumped..

      Also it was not the issue, the tmp file.. I rebooted and thought
      it was fixed but the .ul was not generated.. The tts_audio.sh with
      a text file still outputs the error I reported.

           I cannot imagine why that would be happening other than
          running out of space. The /tmp directory is a tmpfile system
          and stored in ramdisk. Look at it more closely and see if
          something like that is happening. Are there any stale files in
          there growing in size? Either it is that or you have bad ram.
          I have never seen or had either reported.
