Looks like the text-to-speech engine is not configured correctly. Have you tried to change it at https://home.mycroft.ai/?
There are a lot of options here. Is there one in particular I should look at?
I don’t remember exactly anymore, but the Google one worked for me, also the default one with Mycroft wake word talked to me, but it didn’t understand the wake word at all. I also remember once engine stopped working due to some API or licensing changes. Basically loop through them and see which one works, including TTS (audio output voice) and STT (input voice recognition and wake word).
One can also build Mimic for offline TTS: https://dietpi.com/docs/software/hardware_projects/#mycroft-ai
This will install the classic version while there is a new one, Mimic2: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic2
Thanks. I got Mimic 1 for offline use https://dietpi.com/docs/software/hardware_projects/#mycroft-ai installed and working. It’s a bit slow for some requests, but functions ok.
Then I tried enabling other TTS including Mozilla, but it still defaults to the offline TTS. Do I have to uninstall Mimic 1 (not sure how that’s done since it is a done by a script) in order to try a new one? Or is there a config to disable it?
Checking the docs: https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customizations/tts-engine
Could you try this:
cat << '_EOF_' > /mnt/dietpi_userdata/mycroft-data/.mycroft/mycroft.conf
{
"tts": {
"module": "mozilla"
}
}
_EOF_
Hi there, I am new and could not find a way to open a new topic, so I am tagging along here.
I have a HP Elitebook 2740 on which I installed dietpi with Mate.
When trying to install Mycroft throught dietpi-software I am also getting the warning of the conflicting package. When I hit enter to continue I later on get the error message that a new Warning “… WARNING: You are using pip version 20.0.2; however, version 23.3.1 is available. …”.
I updated the pip version using the provided command “… You should consider upgrading via the ‘/mnt/dietpi_userdata/mycroft-core/.venv/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip’ command. …”.
When checking the version it seems correct.
dietpi@elite2740:~$ python3 --version
Python 3.11.2
dietpi@elite2740:~$ pip --version
pip 23.3.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/pip (python 3.11)
dietpi@elite2740:~$ pip3 --version
pip 23.3.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages/pip (python 3.11)
But when I run the installation again it still gives me the warning about the pip version.
Below the complete log from the terminal (after hitting ENTER regarding the conflict with Libjack-jackd2-0 the screen goes bonkers.
Well because I am new I can only have to links. so no output from the terminal.
There should be a huge button on the top of the forum where , you can open new topics. Please do so and share all relevant information and logs.
thank Joulinar,
is on the mainpage, didn’t see it with all the posts.
