Hello,

can you add the NEURAL ENGINE support for the AWS Service? the neural engine created files sounds much better then the standard files.

Thanx

As a quick fix you can do the following:

• Select a voice that is available as neural and as standard voice, see here, e.g. "Vicki" for German or Ivy for English.
• Use ssh to log into your iobroker host
• cd /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.sayit/lib/
• editor text2speech.js
  • Search for "aws". A few lines below, there is a definition of a param-object:

       const params = {
                Text:         text,
                OutputFormat: 'mp3',
                TextType:     type,
                VoiceId:      sayitEngines[language].ename
            };

• Add the neural engine like following:

            const params = {
                Text:         text,
                Engine:       'neural',
                OutputFormat: 'mp3',
                TextType:     type,
                VoiceId:      sayitEngines[language].ename
            };

• Save the file
• cd /opt/iobroker
• npm rebuild iobroker.sayit
• cd /opt/iobroker/cache
• rm *.mp3
• iobroker restart

Now the neural voice should be active.
