aques_talk

ROS Interface for AqeusTalk2.

For detail, Please see manual and symbols table

Usage

Launch sound_play with AquesTalk2 Text-to-Speech

roslaunch aques_talk aques_talk.launch

Say something

$ rostopic pub /robotsound_jp  sound_play/SoundRequest "{sound: -3, command: 1, volume: 10.0, arg: 'こんにちわ', arg2: ''}"
$ rostopic pub /robotsound_jp  sound_play/SoundRequest "{sound: -3, command: 1, volume: 10.0, arg: 'こんにちわピーアールツー', arg2: ''}"
import rospy
from sound_play.libsoundplay import SoundClient

rospy.init_node('say_node')

client = SoundClient(sound_action='robotsound_jp', sound_topic='robotsound_jp')

client.say('こんにちは')

# note that
client.say('Hello')
# does not work ! Use
client.say('Hello', voice='en')

Limitations on input strings

All charactors except [a-zA-Z0-9ぁ-んァ-ンー、。?？] and Kanji are removed so that AquesTalk2 can recognize them.

’こ”^＾ん/に*|ち＊＊｜は；：;:『』！#＃$＄&＆~〜()（）＿_｀\_\\\_・・<\>＊｀＞＜+＋@＠ー=＝%[]-￥
->
こんにちはー

Do not input the unpronounceable or control characters. For example,

  • ヰ ヱ
  • ぁ at the beginning of sentence (ぁ at the beginning of sentence cannot be pronounced, but ふぁ can be pronounced.)
  • ' " in many programs (Because many programs recognize them as string control charactor)
  • ! ` if you use shell (Because shell recognizes them as control charactor)

You should be careful in input charactors about how they are pronounced.

Wrong -> Correct
20時です -> 20じです # Kanji is sometimes mispronounced.
fetch15 -> フェッチ15 # fetch is pronounced as エフ、イー、ティー、シー、エイチ
73B2 -> 7,3,B,2 # 73B2 is pronounced as ななじゅうさんビーに
私の名前は -> 私の名前わ
