Some help with Dasiy Pipeline and TTS

[Greg Kearney]

So I am trying to get TTS to work with Daisy Pipeline 2 on MacOS.

Here is my Text-to-speech Configuration file:

Hi Greg,

Could you also send the daisy-pipeline-gui.log file?

Each time I run a book with Pipeline 2 I get the following tts-log:


What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Where would I find that log file?

I assumed you knew, because you sent that file before. But I just noticed that version 1.12.0 (MacOS) of Pipeline does not produce any logs anymore. To fix this, you need to change two lines in your system.properties:

logback.configurationFile=file:${org.daisy.pipeline.home}/etc/config-logback.xml
org.daisy.pipeline.logdir=${org.daisy.pipeline.data}/log

The "job specific" log files should now end up in DAISY Pipeline 2/Contents/Java/data/jobs/JOBID/JOBID.log and the general log file in DAISY Pipeline 2/Contents/Java/data/log/daisy-pipeline-gui.log.

You should also change the following line, although I don't think that it is going to fix the TTS issue:

org.daisy.pipeline.tts.config=${org.daisy.pipeline.home}/etc/tts-default-config.xml

Can you try adding a "voice" entry that matches the language tag "en" (without the "US" part) to "Alex"? Like this:

<voice engine="osx-speech" name="Alex" lang="en" gender="male-adult" priority="5"/>

My guess is that "en" is not recognized as a known voice. Also the list of voices that we parse from the "say -v ?" command does not contain entries for language "en", only "en-US". This issue should be dealt with when we address https://github.com/daisy/pipeline-mod-tts/issues/49.

I have made all the changes you suggested here are the log files and configurations:

Hi Greg,

It appears the "en" entry isn't needed after all. The system automatically falls back to "en-US". But I have discovered an issue that prevents the tts-default-config.xml configuration from being found when the path has spaces in it. So can you either try renaming the application bundle from "DAISY Pipeline 2" to e.g. "DP2", or use the say.xml configuration file again like you did initially. In either case, I'd like to have the job log again, as well as the tts-log.xml file.

Still no luck. I renamed the application bundle to DAISY_Pipeline_2 and ran the file. Here enclosed are the resulting logs as well as the source XML file of the book.

There appears to be another issue with loading the tts-default-config.xml file. You can work around this for now by changing the system.properties to:

    org.daisy.pipeline.tts.config=/absolute/path/to/your/DAISY_Pipeline_2.app/Contents/Java/etc/tts-default-config.xml

(make sure there are no spaces in this path)

However, as I said before, I don't think this is the real issue. If you specify your "say.xml" file in the "TTS configuration" option field, like you did the first time, it should work. At least it does for me.

Can you please try it again, either with the workaround above, or by passing the say.xml file (or both, just to be sure)? I'd like to have the job log file and the tts-log.xml file (last time you forgot the latter).
