espeak-pipe v0.0.2

node-espeak-pipe

Simple eSpeak interface using a node child process and PassThrough streams to pipe stdout and stderr.

Installation

npm install espeak-pipe

Usage

Minimal usage is to require the library, define the audio pipe, and tell it to say something! The example below uses node-speaker to output the audio data from eSpeak

var Speaker = require('speaker'),
    espeak = require('espeak-pipe');
// Values below pertain to my test system
var ttsSpeaker = new Speaker({
    channels: 1,
    bitDepth: 16,
    sampleRate: 22050,
    signed: true
});
espeak.audio.pipe(ttsSpeaker);
espeak.say("Speaker Initialized, sir.");

Configuration

You can also specify any option for the eSpeak application you want with a call to init. Basics can be seen below:

var espeak = require('espeak-pipe');
espeak.init({
    "voice": "en-us+f3",
    "pitch": "5",
    "speed": "150",
    "volume": "10",
    "addn_args": []
});
