Cannot import name 'ParlerEngine' from 'RealtimeTTS'

[JeffYuY]

Seems like an issue with TextToSpeech, might be an import issue or wrong requirements?

[KoljaB]

Need to look into that.

[JeffYuY]

sry I have a meeting to go to real quick

[KoljaB]

Ok, np. Found the issue: I focused on conda installation and forget to upgrade the main requirements without conda, where RealtimeTTS giot outdated. I updated the requirements file, with this it should work now. If you don't want to reinstall you can start the virtual environment and execute pip install RealtimeTTS[all]==0.4.19.
Thanks for your patience.

[JeffYuY]

I successfully booted up after the installation, but there's a few errors.
Whenever I try to save a voice, this happens:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Lingu\Linguflex\lingu\modules\speech\ui.py", line 154, in add_voice
    self.save_voice(-1)

    self.engine_widget.select_voice.currentData().full_name,
AttributeError: 'SystemVoice' object has no attribute 'full_name'

And when I try to switch speech engine, this happens:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Lingu\Linguflex\lingu\modules\speech\ui.py", line 448, in handle_engine_change
    self.engine_layout.removeWidget(self.engine_widget)

[JeffYuY]

Also when I tried speaking to it, something stranged popped up.

[KoljaB]

Will look into that tomorrow. We will solve all that.

[KoljaB]

The system engine error very much looks like a bug. I didn't use that engine for a while, probably I changed something and messed it up.
The other one seems like RealtimeSTT is outdated too, here prob pip install -U RealtimeSTT will help.

[JeffYuY]

Alright, I'll try 👍

[JeffYuY]

Actually upgrading realtimestt seems to solve all the issues, it's responding normally now, it's just awefully slow because I have a GTX 1560 super.

[JeffYuY]

Also I saw that there's something called wakeword, and I suppose that wakes the assitant up? What am I suppose to say in order to let it wake up?
Edit: I found out after asking what's its wake word, apparently it's "Hey Cee"? Is there any way I can configure that?

[KoljaB]

Standard wakeword is "Jarvis", currently hardcoded, I really need to change that.

You can open Linguflex/lingu/modules/listen/logic.py manually and edit line 413 to change the wake word. With pvporcupine as wakeword backend you can choose a wakeword from this list: alexa, americano, blueberry, bumblebee, computer, grapefruits, grasshopper, hey google, hey siri, jarvis, ok google, picovoice, porcupine, terminator.
With openwakeword you can configure your own wakeword, but it need to be trained before, you can use this Google Colab notebook to do this.
