Hello everybody, After a long time spent to find an answer about Pico TTS and how it should work, I realized that it doesn't work on Mi Note (and any other device) running MIUI 6. I tried a lot of weekly builds, but no success. To check if it works for you, go to Settings - More settings (under Security) - Language and input settings - Speech.
Jun 11, 2018 - I frequently use OsmAnd as a navigation aid while driving, with turn-by-turn instructions spoken out loud using the default Pico TTS as the. Jul 5, 2018 - (6 replies) Hi, how to install svox pico (free) synthesizer on android 4.2.2? Shutochnaya skazka dvenadcatj mesyacev na novij lad. Kindly give me steps by steps. Sorry and thanks. -- You received this.
Then you can find 'Pico TTS', tap on (>) icon, then tap on Pico TTS settings and try to install any language. So you will see that it will switch to Play Store in order to download the language package but you just will get an error. To by-pass Pico TTS, I decided to install Google TTS engine from the Play Store It let me to install Italian language but it doesn't work on MIUI 6. Is there anything I'm missing? Can you please give it a try and post here you experience? This post was edited by xavierve at 00:59, Dec-18-2015 Hi. I hate google TTS for spanish lang, rather Pico TTS is more neutral and friendly for long hearing. Dom's kefir.
I found that Pico TTS wasn't working on Miui 5, 6 and 7. (it has the app installed but not the languages) SOLUTION 1- Get the lang files of Pico TTS (see attached zip) 2- Copy these files to system / tts / lang_pico, folder (need Root Explorer or ES File Explorer with root permision) 3- Change permission attributes of files and folders to drwxr-xr-r 4- Enjoy Pico TTS pd: please note that GE language has been removed in order to avoid attachment limit (but you can find all these files in any android with PICO TTS on it sysem/tts folder). For me 'Redmi Note 4G', 'HM NOTE 1LTEW' and MIUI version 4.11.14 (Build number KTU84P) Trying 'Sett. I was getting this error and created a thread about it - but did not get any replies. In the end I found the solution which was to install an app which I found here This seemed to cure the problem and I could install and use Pico UK system voice. CORRECTION: Having tried it again, I now get the same error message as you when I try to configure Android TTS in my Sat nav programme.
Pico TTS for Raspberry Pi This is a port of the offline text-to-speech engine from Google's Android operating system to the Raspberry Pi. Pico TTS is specifically designed for embedded devices making it ideal for memory and processing constrained platforms like the Raspberry Pi. The original code was licensed under the Apache 2 license and this derivative keeps that license.
This port is a little rough around the edges due to it being a fairly quick and dirty port and my lack of skills in makefile voodoo. I have tried to remove the Android specific files and put the minimal code from the rest of the Android ecosystem. I have left the JNI code in the repository untouched in case anyone fancies getting the Java integration working. The structure of the respository is as follows: • pico_resources/docs/ - Pico TTS documentation A very comprehensive set of documents from the original Pico TTS vendor SVOX. • pico_resources/tools/ - Pico TTS tools Some of the tools used to build the TTS data. I have no idea whether they are useful or not. • pico/lib - The Pico TTS engine itself This this original Pico TTS engine source code.
It is very portable and didn't require any changes to get compiling. The makefile will build libsvoxpico.so which can be used directly using the documentation mentioned above. • pico/tts - High level C++ interface, SSML parser and test application This directory implements a class TtsEngine and a limited Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) implementation. I have also written a simple test program called 'ttstest' using these classes to get you started using Pico TTS on the Raspberry Pi. Building the library and testing it To build the low level TTS library use the following commands: cd pico/lib make && sudo make install This will build the library and put the resulting libsvoxpico.so into the /usr/lib/ folder so it can easily be incorporated into any application.
To build the test application After completing the above commands now put in the following: cd./tts make You will get an executable file called 'ttstest'. This application takes a string as input and will output the raw audio to stdout or to a file using the -o command Usage: testtts 'String to say here' Options: -o Optional command to output data to a file rather than stdout Please note the TTS engine outputs audio in the following format: 16000 Hz, 16-bit mono (little endian). As the test program outputs to stdout you can feed the raw audio data straight into ALSA's aplay tool to hear the audio on the HDMI or 3.5mm analogue output. Here is an example of how you can do this including the appropriate configuration parameters for aplay:./testtts 'This is a test of the Pico TTS engine on the Raspberry Pi' aplay --rate=16000 --channels=1 --format=S16_LE I hope you find this port useful for building your Raspberry Pi based applications.
