During the migration from 1.8.3 to 2.0 I had some troubles (solved) with voiceRSS, in the meantime I tried to add new languages to MaryTTS without success.
I tried to add the jar of the new languages to /var/lib/openhab2/cache/org.eclipse.osgi/226/0/.cp/lib/ where the other maryTTS jar are located but the new jar didn’t appear in the list of
paperUI (even after a restart).

Hi
I see that M.A.R.Y. has a 5.2 version on their website, http://mary.dfki.de/download/index.html
Which seems to offer better quality speech, with inflections (to a degree). (when using their Web Demo)
Does anyone know if there are any plans on updating OH MARY from 5.1 to 5.2 and include the new voice options?
I assume it is NOT just a case of renaming the JAR files and dropping them in
FYI..
The openHAB documentation suggests that a machine with reasonable resources is required to accommodate MARY, (there’s a joke in there somewhere…)
I’ve got 5.1 running on an Odroid C2 and Odroid UX4 (within OH) with good results.
I’ve just downloaded 5.2 and have it running as a webserver on my Odroid UX4 and it’s working REALLY well.
(Other than I can’t figure out how to enable more than the single language)
The only thing that I have NO idea how to do, is save the wave file from this URL into something that I can send to audio sinks..
Last time I checked, adding more voices adds 100s of megabytes to the openHAB add-ons downloads so I don’t think it will ever happen this way. Maybe someone can create a bundle fragment that adds these voices. But Mary TTS is very OSGi unfriendly because there are no bundles and the same packages are split across several JARs.
