Fenrir doesn't talk.

Fenrir doesn't talk.

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I have all the "dependencys" installed. However, it complains that
python3-speechd and python3-espeak are missing. They aren't. Neither
is speech dispatcher. Fenrir starts but doesn't talk. What should I
try?

Re: Fenrir doesn't talk.

Howdy,

Thanks for the typo :) i fixed it.
What distro are you using? fenrir needs a very current system  
python>=3.3, python3-evdev >=0.6.4, current version of sox what  
contains opus support for opus soundIcons (but for soundicons you also  
can use WAV or the gstreamer backend).
Are you using master or stable? are you using pulseaudo or plain alsa?  
(alsa should work out of the box, pulse would need some configuration  
to stream the "root" soundoutput to your user)
can you post the output of check-dependencies?
fenrir is written in python3 so you may need to take care if you  
install the python2 or python3 version of an module.

what happens if you just type in the bash:
$python3
(python opens)
>>> import speechd

maybe you can produce a debug out for me. (with master)
sudo rm /var/log/fenrir.log
sudo /path/to/fenrir/fenrir -d
(stop fenrir)
send me /var/log/fenrir.log

there is also some user documentation found here:
https://wiki.linux-a11y.org/doku.php?id=fenrir_user_manual&s[]=fenrir

Cheers Chrys

Just wondering if Fenrir works with any other better speech, other than espeak? 
Also, just tried manualling running, but got this following announcement:
sudo systemctl start fenrir
Job for fenrir.service failed because the control process exited with error 
code. See "systemctl status fenrir.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
I got that both with and without sudo. Thanks in advance from a Vinux 5.1 Ubunto

Howdy,

and what do you get for
"Job for fenrir.service failed because the control process exited with 
error code. See "systemctl status fenrir.service" and "journalctl -xe" 
for details. "
systemctl status fenrir.service
and
journalctl -xe
i would need some details to help :).
you can also run fenrir in debug mode using
sudo fenrir -d
you can send me the debug (/var/log/fenrir.log) off list then to 
chrys@linux-a11y.org
i want help but need some more information :).

//Just wondering if Fenrir works with any other better speech
what is a better speech?
fenrir (master) supports 3 different TTS backends
- espeak (directly, via python-espeak bindings)
- speech-dispatcher (with configurable speech module pico, espeak, 
ibmtts, festival and anything else that is supported by speechd)
- generic speech driver (where you can use an configurable shell command 
to produce speech)
Hardware syth support for dectalk/ double talk are planned but i dont 
have that devices, so it will take some time here.

cheers chrys

OK, thanks, running your debug command, says /usr/bin/fenrir not found, so maybe 
I missed something along the way. And yes, if it supports I B M T T S, and 
others, thats great. Thanks

Howdy,

//OK, thanks, running your debug command, says /usr/bin/fenrir not found
did you installed it or do you run the fenrir binary from the git tree?
if there is no /usr/bin/fenrir that means that fenrir is not installed 
so it could not started via systemd. you will first be able to start 
fenrir after installing it.
thats ok, you dont need to install it to try it out but as long as you 
start it from the source tree you need to start
sudo src/fenrir/fenrir -d
inside of the git directory

yea IBMTTS is supported via speech-dispatcher backend.
that is what my girlfrind is using here :).

Actually, when I run check-dependencys.py with python3 instead of
python, everything passes but pyenchant.
Pyenchant is already installed in python2.7 but I have no idea how to
install it so that it works with python3.
I don't understand the difference between python, python2.7, python3...

Howd,

Ah i will make python 3 the default for the script thanks for reporting.
The python  language  did some incompatible breaks between version 2 and 3 thats why there are mostly for everything are bindings for python 2 and python3 in seperated way.

Cheers Chrys

Re: Fenrir doesn't talk.

How can I make python3 the default script now?
I have all the dependencies fixed. When I run without installing it
freezes the whole machine, requiring a restart.
Could it be trying to use python instead of python3?
