Hi Dev's -

Just had a thought on how to add speech for the log window - easy as!

Can we have an option in the config menu to run an external command with the Message Log Window text on a per line basis as the entries are generated?( and an option to knock off the timestamp )

If so we can all use eSpeak - from Sourceforge - to get speech out of CMANO, or send the logs to any number of other funky code - very simple change - very big plus.

I've tried it with the log files and its passable output, but would be better done from within the code.

Of course if someone fancies knocking up some Java code in the interim ( Non-locking/ nonblocking ) on the log files that would work too - unix equivalent of tail -f - Baloogan?

*Updated* File Removed as SeaHag now released search for the other post.

Got it working.

Its attached to the message now. As it was an external filter a bit more than five lines

Usage example from cmd prompt

cmanotalk 2013-10-15_23.45.58.txt 1 Britain

Doc attached with the code.

*updated* - Added Smoother female type voice from Microsoft speech engine. Now two versions cmanotalk.exe and cmanotalkms.exe

The MS version will ignore the speech params though, but does not need to run the espeak processes so is a cleaner approach.

Regards

Sluggy

Thank you for your effort on this! We are looking at several solutions for this requirement and your implementation will be examined.

Just tried, but no sound, maybe I have to check the parameters from eSpeak. I think it took the french language by default.

Yep - sorry just English at the moment, can you post the log file and I'll add French as an option.

I've only created this in the absence of anything else at present.

Ideal solution would be for the the guys to use the the Microsoft speech API, but it will need the ability to select which messages are spoken or you get voice spammed.

Oops - forgot to mention there are female voice variants in espeak.

cmanotalk 2013-10-16_8.50.53.txt 3 Britain " -s 200 -g 6 -v en+f5"

+f1,+f2,+f3,+f4,+f5 are the options.
