a talking clock

[radiradio]

due to the sudden cut of the legendary talking clock over the phone in france, we wanted to emulate the service with liquidsoap

demo here : http://stream.p-node.org/clock.mp3

right now there's no mean to manage a sync, if someone has an idea how to do that..

Nice, thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for sharing!

I use a different approach: Have a TTS engine like espeak speak time (and station ID, in my case) as a cron job into a /tmp/saytime.wav file every minute, and simply play that. ;-)

For those interested:

crontab entry

*/1 *  *   *   *     /home/matthias/automation/saytime.sh > /dev/null

saytime.sh script (in German, sorry)

#!/bin/sh
# saytime.sh
# 2015-07-16 Moonbase
# Create /tmp/saytime.wav for Liquidsoap to announce current time.
# Put this in crontab to keep the file current, like so:
#   */1 *  *   *   *     /home/matthias/automation/saytime.sh > /dev/null

UHR=$(LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 TZ='Europe/Berlin' date +'%-H Uhr %-M')
UHR2=$(LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 TZ='Europe/Berlin' date +'genau %-H Uhr')
MIN=$(LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 TZ='Europe/Berlin' date +'%-M')
TAG=$(LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 TZ='Europe/Berlin' date +'%A')

if [ "$MIN" -eq 0 ]; then

Note
This is from 2015. Nowadays we have better TTS engines (I’d suggest Pico TTS for something small and local, or a curl to the Google TTS), so the output can sound much better. :-)

I didn't know about pico tts, just added support for that in #2934: you can play single("pico2wave:It's 2 pm") (and gtts has been supported since a long time).

@smimram Gee, that’s a valuable addition to LS! PicoTTS is rather old, you can’t get extra voices anymore, but is has the big advantage that it’s small and local and doesn’t require accessing ever-changing foreign APIs and carrying a whole Python3 stack around, like with gtts.

In the dev docs, I didn’t (yet?) find anything about

• how to set the pico2wave language
• whether I can use things like <break time="500ms"/> in the text string.

If it helps, here’s a pointer to a copy of the old manual: http://dafpolo.free.fr/telecharger/svoxpico/SVOX_Pico_Manual.pdf

Hey,
Can I ask if you can help me to integrate this into AzureCast?
Unfortunately my knowledge about liquidsoap stops here. :/
