Any English sound package out there?

[Stevemoretz]

I don't know if this is a feature request or what?But I can't seem to make it English couldn't find any package also.Would you please help I'm not Chinese.

[izhangzhihao]

I don't think there is any high-quality English voice package, this is the English voices from the origin VSCode version, you can try to download the dir and config it here.

Thank you so much I did it.I did it and I get this error:

Please replace manifest.json with

{
    "name": "built-in-voice-english",
    "display-name": "Built-In Voice (English)",
    "avatar": "avatar.jpg",
    "avatar-dark":"avatar-dark.jpg",
    "version": "1.0.1",
    "description": "none",
    "languages": ["javascript"],
    "author": "Alice Moon",
    "gender": "female",
    "locale": "en"
}

[Stevemoretz]

Thanks now no errors.But how do I test it.(I want it to say something.)

[izhangzhihao]

just typing func or => or catch

[izhangzhihao]

You can config it by editing contributes.json

[izhangzhihao]

I never tested with the English voice package, so I don't know how bad/good it works.

[Stevemoretz]

I used

const test = ()=>{
    
};

And it talked.

Very nice yeah it's all in contributes.json. Such a full am I :D.

Great so it's working but there are only a few ones.They have used some text to speech to make the voices.
Why wouldn't you do that?You already have 343 stars without the English version lol.

Honestly I get some free time I'll make some cool stuff with it.I guess you should have a English version it's pretty easy to make with a text to speech robot.

[izhangzhihao]

Great, contribution welcome!

[Stevemoretz]

Great, contribution welcome!

HI this is me again, would you mind giving me the translations in English so I can make audio files in English for you?

I have managed to turn text to an audio file successfully.
Just need to know what each of your audio files mean translated to English ?

[izhangzhihao]

Please try translate from https://github.com/SaekiRaku/vscode-rainbow-fart/blob/master/src/built-in-voice-packages/built-in-voice-chinese/README.md

[Stevemoretz]

Hi again tnx but I'm not Chinese and I don't think Google translate is good enough yet

[Stevemoretz]

This could even be cooler if using some funny or cool stuff instead of some compliments,I used some friends series and some spongebob and some other voices to spice it up.Wish there was such a custom voice package ready,becuase the compliments get repetitive.

By the way great plugin and really nice that this is configurable as easy as that.
