Text to speech not working, what do I do wrong?

You do that within the asterisk cli, If you are watching the log from a shell you can effectively do the same with

rasterisk -x 'agi set debug on'

How about now?

It helps the diagnostics but line 365 says that the script is not working as intended, I would take this to the author.

How can I check if the engine is installed?

From

https://git.freepbx.org/projects/FREEPBX/repos/tts/browse/agi-bin/propolys-tts.agi

The engine used is defined in lines following 99, in your case it seems to be flite

Maybe it’s a good idea to install another engine first, and see if that one works or if it has the same problem. I’m not sure how to do that, going to google for that but when you know a link to an easy howto, feel free to post :wink:
And thank you, I really appreciate your help!

Of all those engines, only the Amazon ‘polly’ engine would klinkt goed

edit:

does flite work for an English speaker?

I found Polly over here:

Are you Dutch dicko?

I’m strugling with the instructions there. I’m not so good with this. I have Putty but some of the commands mentioned there are not working. for example

git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-nodejs-sample

Probably because I do something wrong.

Is git installed on your system?

To be honest, no idea…

This might be ‘Een lange rij om te schoffelen’, are you sure you want to invest that time ?

:rofl: I’m ready to “schoffel” lol!

Then you will need to install the aws TTS/STT which needs you to get an account, then you need to a working node-js and git to download the code, but there might be a pre-compiled npm module for you already.

Once you have a legitimate account and a functional npm module , you can ‘verplaats uw tractor naar de volgende rij’

Well, I do have a aws account and found a page about Polly. No idea how to go further from there, how do I find or create a working node-js and git? Or a npm module?

That is above and beyond what we would reasonably do here in these fora which support FreePBX. Perhaps use google, or find a ‘consultant’ ?

I understand. Thanks anyway for guiding me in the right direction, dicko!
Perhaps I return here if I can learn myself these things.

Thanks all,
It’s running now.

I opened a topic about the module, but still haven’t got an answer.

I believe the module should change with the native TTS implementation for asterisk 19.
