TTS Sonos + Google

[Emil]

Hello,

I've searched through the forum but I havn't managed to find anything regarding this. Perhaps I use the wrong words?
Anyway, what I want to do is have Sonos do a TTS announcement with a url.
I want to use http://translate.google.com/translat...&q=Hello+World to make Homeseer say stuff to me depending on different events.

Is this something that is possible to do?

You can definitely do it, but you'd need to write a script to do this I think.

Basically I would have a script that captures the text from the Google translate page into a stringbuilder string.

Then I'd set up the link players in the Sonos plug-in and the use the Speak command to pass the string from Google across to the Sonos units

Dumb question perhaps but what is a stringbuilder string?

[NicolaiL]

Do a google for it as a VB.NET property. It's a special kind of String, ie.

dim myString as Stringbuilder
