neon-audio 0.4.0

Neon Audio Module

Neon Audio

Audio Module for Neon Core. This module can be treated as a replacement for the mycroft-core speech module. This module handles input text, performs TTS, and optionally returns the audio or plays it back locally.

Neon Enhancements

neon-audio extends mycroft-audio with the following added functionality:

• Support for translated output languages
• Support for multiple language spoken responses (multiple users and/or multi-language users)
• Messagebus API listeners to handle outside requests for TTS
• Arbitrary configuration supported by passing at module init

Compatibility

Mycroft TTS plugins are compatible with neon-speech.

Running in Docker

The included Dockerfile may be used to build a docker container for the neon_audio module. The below command may be used to start the container.

docker run -d \
--network=host \
--name=neon_audio \
-v ${NEON_DATA_DIR}:/home/neon/.local/share/neon:rw \
-v ${NEON_CONFIG_DIR}:/home/neon/.config/neon:rw \
-v ~/.config/pulse/cookie:/home/neon/.config/pulse/cookie:ro \
-v ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse:ro \
--device=/dev/snd:/dev/snd \
-e PULSE_SERVER=unix:${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/pulse/native \
-e PULSE_COOKIE=/home/neon/.config/pulse/cookie \
neon_audio

Note: The above example assumes Docker data is stored in the standard user locations ~/.local/share and ~/.config. You may want to change these values to some other path to separate container and host system data.
