Voice alerts test build

So i gotta ask...Is there any plans to add all the opentx Amber voice alerts? I looked at the list and it is huge and covers a lot of the things most users will want to have on there selection, I would myself add a few for Arduplane like Fly By Wire A and B , mode land ect..

We can add anything. I like the idea of the list I posted above covering most cases, but I don't like it being really long, so finding the right entry will be some clicks (although long press will make bigger steps). Actually I'm currently thinking if there is a way to automatically build custom sets by anyone. Like a webpage with a text entry field which returns a voice.zip with ini and mp3 folder. I noticed the Travis builder allows a mac OS VM, so we might have access to the excellent tts apple provides. The downside is, that the building process will probably take a few minutes...I'm open for suggestions as always.


Any other bugs noticed with voice? I was wondering if a "voice-value" mux which will read out channel values would be useful, similar to what happens on aux knobs. Any other wishes?

it could be useful on the throttle channel as a option if flying FPV using goggles it would be handy to hear "Throttle at 50%" ect..


I really like the idea of using a webpage to generate the voice alerts that way users can customize there transmitter alerts however they like...

Hello
Not yet checked the last version but you know my wishes :
A count down timer in the same way as stopwatch (by minutes for 5 minutes and longer after).
The possibility to have the name of the model loaded on the switching on of the TX (by a custom voice).
Why not a possiblily of a complete read of all switches having a voice and their position. A sort of chek list (I dont see how as all buttons have a function

Knowing that all voices are less than 2 seconds it would take probably less than 15 seconds for the 8 switches of a devo 12 if all switches are "voiced" which is probably not the case.

FDR wrote: About the model name: You would need custom mp3 files for all your model name, otherwise automatically you could only have for example "model eleven", which wouldn't help too much, I guess...

Agreed I am ready to create the 20 custom voices for my 20 models in my devo which will take 5 minutes

As already mentionned I use 2 free programs on Windows :Natural reader free and Audacity to create my mp3. Natural Reader reads from what you want (a web page or a written text ) and Audacity records it while reading by Nat Reader. Splitting a long list takes seconds.

FDR wrote: What voice generator do you use for your current voice sets?
Is that a Linux one or a Mac?

See github shell script genspeech
It can use say from apple or the open source solutions pico2wave and espeak

Going on on my check list proposal, may be it could be possible to use one of the two buttons named TRIM_L and TRIM_R for which I have never seen any use (or I have never understood how to assign them to a function )

Edit : Ok, bad idea But the check list would be interesting

@Morlacus, i find those trim switches very useful, to fine tune gains during flight.

I too but I was speaking of these 2 buttons shown by the arrows on the file attached. If you use those tell me how you do.

@Moriacus,

In the trim menu, I add an entry like this for the left trim switch;

Ok Thanks.

Thanks victzh for the code approval. Is anyone else into an approval? Otherwise I'd suggest a merge

Working good on my 12 i just installed a dfplayer on my 12s and getting ready to load the firmware to try it out...
I agree for merging it ..Any more progress on the web page creation for the mp3 files?

No, I haven't looked into the web page for voice file building yet.

Voice is awesome , isn't it?

Edit : Houston, we have contact....

Yes! Thank you for your hard work and persistence.

I'm assembling an internal player for my Devo 12e and now have a micro speaker with really big sound. Some time ago I picked up a 15mm x 11mm micro speaker (Knowles 2403-260-00001 available at Digikey) but it isn't very loud without a sound enclosure. Since I have a bit of room in the 12e, I designed a 3D-printed enclosure box that the speaker snaps into. The sound is definitely as big as the 29mm speakers I have tried, and should be easier to place in the shell. It costs almost nothing to print.

I've posted the design to Thingiverse item 2220544 .
