Neural Voices

[christianeuropa]

Hello Stefan,

thank you very much for your work. I would like to know whether it is possible to use the neural voices as well? Maybe with a syntax? I like the neural voices better than the standard.

Hi @christianeuropa it's for sure possible to make it possible to load the neural voices. You are probably using it in sonos2mqtt, right?

That means this should not only be changed in this app but also in node-sonos-ts, related code can be found here

Time is somewhat limited right now, I will be accepting a PR (and thus welcoming the first contributor) for this.

Check out the new version (1.0.8) or use this image docker pull ghcr.io/svrooij/node-sonos-tts-polly:1.0.8

Thanks for the new version.
I just wanted to test the new version in docker. But unfortunately it doesn't really work. My log shows:
/usr/local/bin/sonos-tts-polly: line 1: use strict: not found
/usr/local/bin/sonos-tts-polly: line 2: syntax error: unexpected "("

1.0.9 works. Thanks very much.

This new functionality isn't yet implemented in the node-sonos-ts library, but I'll try that some where in the next weeks.

In the mean time, there is a one-time sponsor option on my sponsor profile.
