A simple relaxation prompter that periodically plays reminder messages to prompt me to relax while practicing.
Sample phrases:
- Relax your shouders
- Release any neck tension
- Smoothly, easily
- Fret lightly with less energy
etc.
ruby main.rb <folder> <seconds between each phrase>
For example:
ruby main.rb mp3s 45
When done, just kill the program.
The mp3s provided in the mp3s folder were generated from https://ttsmp3.com/ using the "US English/Salli" voice.
You can either replace the existing the mp3 files, or create a new folder with your own files for different purposes.
This code is only tested on, and only works on, Mac. It should be easy to port to a Windows machine, but I don't have one to test with.
