Any possibility of an Mac OS X executable .app?

[NeuroNoNeuro]

Would be fantastic to have this option for OS X, especially since it's an open-source option. Not a programmer, don't understand code enough to make this myself, otherwise I wouldn't pester 'ya :)

I agree that support for mac os would be a great feature, but unfortunately neither me nor other developers have any mac computers or knowledge of platform api's.

maybe someone will be able to do it someday.

RHVoice test works on mac os without any problem.

just compile RHVoice and try to run.

i forgot how commandline player in mac os is called, but i think there should not be a problem of finding it.

i am not sure how RHVoice will behave on new m1 chips. unfortunately i cannot test as i myself have intel based device.

Also on Intel, but I do not have any knowledge of how to compile a program - I’m a sound designer/microsound composer. I’d you’ve got any tips on how to compile it AND have it be a regular .app, that’s be swell!

[beqabeqa473]

unfortunately, currently there is no possibility to use RHVoice as a system tts, however as i said earlier, it is possible to use it from terminal.

as for compiling, you should install clang, python and scons. i can't remember if it is necessary to make modifications in source code, but if it is required, there are easy ones.

i installed RHVoice about two years ago and can't remember all the details, as i rarely use mac os.

Thank you so much for your help, I'll take a look into this, but I'll repeat - I don't even really get the Terminal - I can copy/paste directions, but I don't know what I'm copy/pasting. That's OK - MaryTTS still works for now on the Mac, so I'm good. Thank you for your quick responses and helpful suggestions!

I'm interested helping with MacOSX app. Agreeing with @beqabeqa473 , I confirm compilation from source worked for me last year on Catalina. But fluency in manual compilation on MacOS is not as common as among Linux users. Hence, by providing a compiled MacOSX app bundle we clearly remove a lot of effort for many users. However, app bundle does not imply system integration.

I had a working protopype working on top of sockets which was exchanging text and audio and mac os app, which was integrating with system, but it stopped working with update to 10.15.4 i think, where some policies have been made strict.

i know, it is possible to fix that, but it involves users to work with terminal. other more correct way is to sign an app with cert, but i don't have such one for now.

@beqabeqa473 Sounds really interesting, do you have this prototype published somewhere? MacOS apps need to manifest a permissions file, such that a user could explicitly allow e.g. webcam capture. For trusted app this may still work without a certificate.

[beqabeqa473]

no, i don't have it published.

i still need to polish things and after i'll try to push it to github.

i don't know if it work on bigsur though.

Let's put bigsur aside for the time being. I think a reasonable workflow would be first to add build rules for creating a bundle, which I can do. Secondly, I could potentially fix your sockets thing (if you wish to share it), by writing a proper Info.plist file.

[beqabeqa473]

unfortunately it is not possible to put bigsur aside, because i already updated and i will need a fix if it will stop working.

so, anyway, i will try to provide a working version.

Any luck with this? I know I pestered you a long time ago - still would be neat to see if there's any OS X version to work with!

[dmikushin]

No progress from my side yet, but we can reprioritize. Please note that MacOS .dmg existence does not imply that the system integration is fully done. You will be able to install a package, but it will run the RHVoice console utilities only. We need a plan on how to implement the system integration.

Please do not rush on my end - I am just impressed that these things are finally being considered so OS X users can use them. We're stuck with the system voices, and they can't be used for anything other than audio-playback. Commercial usage is always an issue, and TTS voices are so useful for all sorts of musical endeavors.

Please may we have a version for OS X?
