Home Assistant compatibility

[q20]

Hey there

Attempting to add Mimic 3 (docker container) as a drop-in replacement for MaryTTS is not working:

I have added the following to the configuration.yaml:

tts:
  - platform: marytts
    host: "localhost"
    port: 59125
    language: "en_UK"
    voice: apope_low

When checking the configuration's validity, the following error is thrown:

If I swap en_UK to en_GB, this check passes:

So, is this a Home Assistant or Mimic 3 issue? Can I manually rename the en_UK voice to en_GB?

Hey thanks for the heads up on this.

Will have to take a look and see what the best approach is here.

Hey @q20 - can you try removing the language parameter and including the full voice key for voice?

That would make your config:

tts:
  - platform: marytts
    host: "localhost"
    port: 59125
    voice: en_UK/apope_low

Ah, that does indeed work! Lovely stuff. Quick followup... how about:

    effect:
      Rate: "durScale:1.75"

This has no effect. I cannot seem to find a way to slow the voice down.

Try

    effect:
      Rate: "lengthScale:1.75"

I'm afraid no permutation of that worked. In the end, I simply edited the config.json file for that specific voice:

    "inference": {
        "length_scale": 1.8,
        "noise_scale": 0.333,
        "noise_w": 0.333,
        "auto_append_text": "."

This is a TODO for me. I need to add more parameters to the MaryTTS interface :+1:

Thanks. I guess we keep this open as a feature request?
