Microsoft Text-to-Speech (TTS)

The original MS TTS cannot change parameters like gender and type dynamically, as it pays no attention to the option parameter.

This component passes over optional

• gender
• type
• rate
• volume
• pitch
• contour

parameters.

Install

Clone this repo under custom_components

eg.

cd [HA PATH]/custom_components
git clone https://github.com/realthk/microsoft_tts.git

and restart Home Assistant

Sample call:

  action:
    - service: tts.microsoft_say
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.mpd
        message: teszt2
        options: 
          gender: Female
          type: NoemiNeural

Where gender is Male or Female, type is "Voice name" without the language prefix from Microsoft's documentation, eg. TamasNeural
