# Espeak mbrola output module is based on the generic plugin for Speech
# Dispatcher. It means there is no code written explicitly for
# this plugin, all the specifics are handled in this configuration
# and we call a simple command line client to perform the actual
# synthesis. Use this config file with the sd_generic output module.
#
# IMPORTANT: The audio output method relies on an audio playback
# utility (play, aplay, paplay for OSS, ALSA or Pulse)
# being installed. If this is not the case, consider installing it
# or replace the $PLAY_COMMAND string in the GenericExecuteString below
# with play, paplay or similar.
#
# GenericExecuteSynth is the shell command that should be
# executed in order to say some message. This command must
# stop saying the message on SIGKILL, otherwise it's useless.
# You can use the variables $LANGUAGE, $VOICE, $PITCH and $RATE
# which will be substituted for the appropriate value (you
# can modify this value, see other parameters).
# The command can be split into more lines, if necessary, using '\'.
GenericExecuteSynth \
"echo \'$DATA\' | espeak-ng -v mb-$VOICE -s $RATE -p $PITCH $PUNCT -q --stdin --pho | mbrola -v $VOLUME -e /usr/share/mbrola/$VOICE/$VOICE - -.au | $PLAY_COMMAND"
# Alternatively you can shorten the command like below, which makes it
# work directly with any audio playback utility, but then you won't
# be able to change the volume from the client application:
# GenericExecuteSynth \
# "echo \'$DATA\' | espeak-ng -v mb-$VOICE -s $RATE -p $PITCH $PUNCT -stdin"

# Each of these values will be substituted into the $PUNCT variable depending
# on the value passed to speech dispatcher from applications.
# Note that if an empty string is specified, then $PUNCT will be blank
# which is a default situation for espeak.

# These parameters set _rate_, _pitch_, and _volume_ conversion. This is
# part of the core of the definition of this generic output
# module for this concrete synthesizer, it's not intended to
# be modified by common users.
# The resulting rate (or pitch) has the form:
# (speechd_rate * GenericRateMultiply) + GenericRateAdd
# while speechd_rate is a value between -100 (lowest) and +100 (highest)
# You have to define some meaningful conversion for each synthesizer
# Here's the mapping from SSIP (Speech Dispatcher) to ESpeak (v1.10):
#
# SSIP Range SSIP Default ESpeak/MBROLA Range ESpeak Default
# ----------- ------------ ------------ --------------
# Rate -100 to 100 0 80 to 320 160
# Pitch -100 to 100 0 0 to 99 50
# Volume -100 to 100 0 0 to 2 --
#
# The SSIP defaults are actually controlled via DefaultRate, DefaultPitch, and
# DefaultVolume in the speechd.conf file.
GenericRateAdd 160
GenericPitchAdd 50
GenericVolumeAdd 1
# (These values are multiplied by 100, because DotConf currently
# doesn't support floats. So you can write 0.85 as 85 and so on.)
GenericRateMultiply 160
GenericPitchMultiply 50
GenericVolumeMultiply 1
# If the client program can't handle floats, you will have to
# use these two options to force integers as the parameters
# 1 means force integers, 0 means do nothing (write floats).
GenericRateForceInteger 1
GenericPitchForceInteger 1
GenericVolumeForceInteger 0
# Note that SSIP rates < -50 are spoken at -50.
