DESCRIPTION
  fhem-speech
    fhem-speech read the status of a FHEM device and talk using the MBROLA
    speech synthesizer. Furthermore it can read the content of a given file
    or text.

  FHEM
    FHEM is used to automate some common tasks in the household like
    switching lamps/shutters/heating/etc. and to log events like
    temperature/humidity/power consumption. Visit the FHEM's homepage
    <http://www.koeniglich.de/fhem/fhem.html> for more information.

  The MBROLA project
    Central to the MBROLA project is MBROLA, a speech synthesizer based on
    the concatenation of diphones. It takes a list of phonemes as input,
    together with prosodic information, and produces speech samples on 16
    bits (linear), at the sampling frequency of the diphone database used.
    This synthesizer is provided for free, for non commercial, non military
    applications only. Visit the MBROLA's homepage
    <http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/> for more information.

  Asterisk
    Optionally fhem-speech supports AGI commands to communicate with
    Asterisk. Visit the Asterisk(R) homepage <http://www.asterisk.org/> for
    more information.

OPTIONS
    Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
    Ordering Options:

    -d, --device device

    Other options:

    -a, --asterisk
        Run in Asterisk mode. fhem-speech print out AGI-commands for direct
        usage in Asterisk.

    -c, --cache directory
        Specifies the location of where the files should be saved if
        fhem-speech started with the -o or --out argument.

        Default location: current directory.

    --force
        Overwrites existing files.

    -h, --host host
        Specifies the hostaddress for FHEM.

        Default address: "localhost".

    -o, --out [gsm|wav]
        fhem-speech saves the output to a file with the specified output
        format.

        Default address: "localhost".

    -p, --port port
        Communicate with FHEM on defined port.

        Default port: "7072".

    --prefix prefix
        Set the given prefix in front of filename.

    -q, --quiet

        MBROLA have been installed.

        Default: "de3" for the German female voice and "de2" for the German
        male voice.

    -m, --man

EXAMPLES
    Get status information for device <EG.wz.HZ> in quiet mode:

      `fhem-speech -d EG.wz.HZ -q`

    Same as above with a male voice. FHEM runs on IP 192.168.1.100:

      `fhem-speech -d EG.wz.HZ -S m -h 192.168.1.100`

    Get status information for device <EG.wz.HZ> in Asterisk mode:

      `fhem-speech -d EG.wz.HZ -a -q -o gsm -c /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/fhem/`

    Read the file <foobar>:

      `fhem-speech -f foobar`

    Read the given text "Geht nicht gibt's nicht.":

      `fhem-speech -t "Geht nicht gibt's nicht."`

    Set the state for device <EG.wz.SD.01>:

      `fhem-speech -d EG.wz.SD.01 --set on`

INSTALLATION
  Requirements
   MBROLA
    You need MBROLA synthesizer, a synthesis voice, txt2pho and sox. For
    more information visit:

    o MBROLA project, <http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/>

    o hadifix, <http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/dt/forsch/phonetik/hadifix/>

   FHEM
    For FHEM mode you need FHEM 4.5+ and the command extension "jsonlist".
    For more information take a look at:

    <fhem_src_path>/contrib/JsonList/README.JsonList

    or visit the FHEM's homepage:

    <http://www.koeniglich.de/fhem/fhem.html>

   JSON::XS
    The required command extension "jsonlist" send the result as a JSON
    encoded string. fhem-speech need the Perl module JSON::XS to decode the
    information.

    There are several ways to install the module:

    You can download the last version at:

    <http://search.cpan.org/~mlehmann/JSON-XS-2.231/XS.pm>

    Or you can use the package from the contrib-folder which was delivered
    with fhem-speech.

    You can use the cpan command on bash-prompt.

  Installation
    This describes the installation on ubuntu:

    Make a temporarily directory for the needed files and change to the new
    directory, e.g.:

      `mkdir /usr/local/src/mbrola; cd !$`

    Download the required files:

      `wget http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/dt/forsch/phonetik/hadifix/txt2pho.zip`
      `wget http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola/bin/pclinux/mbrola3.0.1h_i386.deb`

    Download at least one synthesis voice (e.g. German female voice):

      `wget http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola/dba/de3/de3.zip`

  txt2pho
    Install txt2pho:

      `unzip txt2pho.zip -d /usr/share/`
      `chmod 755 /usr/share/txt2pho/txt2pho`

    Edit txt2phorc:

      `vi /usr/share/txt2pho/txt2phorc`

    and change the path for DATAPATH and INVPATH:

      DATAPATH=/usr/share/txt2pho/data/
      INVPATH=/usr/share/txt2pho/data/

    Copy txt2phorc to /etc/txt2pho:

      `cp /usr/share/txt2pho/txt2phorc /etc/txt2pho`

  Synthesis Voice
    Install the synthesis voice (e.g. German female voice):

      `unzip de7.zip -d /usr/share/mbrola/de7`

    fhem-speech use "de2" and "de3" as default voices. You can change this
    if you like.

  MBROLA
    Install MBROLA:

      `dpkg -i mbrola3.0.1h_i386.deb`

  sox
    Install sox:

      `apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-all`

  Test
    Test your installation:

      `echo "Test" | /usr/share/txt2pho/txt2pho |\
       mbrola /usr/share/mbrola/de7/de7 - -.au | play -q -t au -`

  fhem-speech
    Copy the script fhem-speech to a directory of your choice, e.g.:

      `cp fhem-speech /usr/local/bin`

    and make it executable:

      `chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/fhem-speech`

  Perl
    If you use the delivered module contrib/JSON-XS-2.231.tar.gz:

      `tar xzf JSON-XS-2.231.tar.gz`
      `cd JSON-XS-2.231`
      `perl Makefile.pl`
      `make`
      `make test`

    and as root:

      `make install`

CONFIGURATION
    Open fhem-speech with your prefered editor.

  FHEM host settings
    Change the default host, if you like:

      ###########################
      # FHEM
      $sys{fhem}{host}         = "localhost";
      $sys{fhem}{port}         = "7072";

  External commands
    Change the paths depending on the installed distribution:

      ###########################
      # Mandatory external Files
      $sys{file}{mbrola}       = "/usr/local/bin/mbrola";
      $sys{file}{pipefilt}     = "/usr/local/bin/pipefilt";
      $sys{file}{play}         = "/usr/bin/play";
      $sys{file}{preproc}      = "/usr/local/bin/preproc";
      [...]

    Change the default settings for synthesis voice:

      ###########################
      # mbrola / txt2pho options
      $sys{speech}{sex}    = "f";
      $sys{speech}{male}   = "-f0.8 -t0.9 -l 15000";
      $sys{speech}{female} = "-f1.2 -t1.0 -l 22050";

  Translation
    fhem-speech need the $lang{} settings to decide what messages from FHEM
    to be spoken. For example take a look at the FHT part:

      ###########################
      # FHEM Translation

      [...]

      ###########################
      # FHT
      # keys:
      $lang{'actuator'} = "Ventilstellung: %s Prozent";
      $lang{'day-temp'} = "Temperatur Tag: %s Grad";
      $lang{'desired-temp'} = "Angeforderte Temperatur: %s Grad";
      $lang{'measured-temp'} = "Gemessene Temperatur: %s Grad";
      $lang{'mode'} = "Modus: %s";
      $lang{'night-temp'} = "Temperatur Nacht: %s Grad";
      $lang{'windowopen-temp'} = "Temperatur Fenster offen: %s Grad";
      [...]

    On every FHEM response all of the defined $lang{} status information
    will be spoken. If you don't like status information for e.g.
    'windowopen-temp' then comment this out:

      # $lang{'windowopen-temp'} = "Temperatur Fenster offen: %s Grad";

    If you like to know the status for e.g. 'lowtemp-offset' add a line like
    this:

      $lang{'lowtemp-offset'} = "Versatz Temperatur %s Grad";

    The '%s' stands as a placeholder for the value.

OPTIONAL
  Asterisk
    fhem-speech support AGI commands for direct output in Asterisk.

   Wrapper
    If you like fhem-speech for use in Asterisk, you have to install a
    wrapper around fhem-speech. You can use the example from
    contrib/fhem-speech.agi.

    Copy the wrapper to your asterisk-environment, e.g:

      `cp contrib/fhem-speech.agi /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/`

   extension.conf
    Take a look at the example from contrib/extension.conf.
