Home seer TTS doesnot swear???

[ldragon99]

Ok, I have been using hs for a few years now and just relized that homeseer will not swear. I was creating an event for a freind when he came over and had it call hime a dumb as@ and when it came to speak it it said dumb beep. Now that was just as funny and what I was trying to say but it really took me by suprise

[TrOjAn]

Weird!!! Mine certainly has the ability to say those words... I just spend 10 minutes going through my obscenity list LOL

[Jim Doolittle]

Funny how I never tried that myself. Maybe I was afraid the kids would accidentally hear it.

If you still wish HomeSeer to have a "potty mouth" , try

dum az

All you need to do is to edit the dictionary file, and she'll have a mouth fit for a low class bar! (If that's what you want)

[ldragon99]

don't get me wrong I don't want a potty mouth HS. I just found it funny that while using a app like HS that usually gives me "Full" control that it was taken away from me.

How do I edit my dictonary? Where do I find it?

[Skibum]

That depends on the voice. If you look in the TTS section, you should see a reference to these dictionary files, along with instructions for their modification.

Just a quick note: The editor for Neospeech is quite buggy... but will work. (You can't listen to the voice from the editor.)

Just another note...:The Brightspeech editor is spectacular!

Ski,
Did anyone ever get a handle on the prices for the Britespeech voices?

[Skibum]

Rich is getting us a bundled price. Let's wait for that.

[Rupp]

Which one do you guys think sounds the best?

[Skibum]

I only downloaded Heather.

Why not get the demo and listen for yourself. The HTML demo on the Brightspeech page does not do these voices justice.

Ski,
I'm afraid to add these to my HA system. I haven't had a single problem (I probably just jinxed myself) with HS in months and I really do not want to add them to that server. If I add them to one of my laptops what other apps can I test them with?

[Skibum]

As it is sapi... any app that uses speech. But, it is not so much teh quality of the voice that I wanted you to hear as the speed of execution!

Rupp,
You don't have to install anything.. they have some demo WAV files over on the right hand side of the screen that you can listen to.

Gemini,
I have demo'ed them but I can't tell if they are any better than the AT&T's from what I hear.
