Squeezeboxspeak no sound

Add-ons Text-to-Speech

I have configured squeezeboxsoeak action that should speak when a button is pressed.
The player is a max2play on rpi2 and wotks very good.

However the squeezeboxspeak gives below error in the debug logs and nothing can be heard.

It relies on google TTS unfortunately which I believe is no longer working (again) GoogleTTS responding with 503 error (even after the URL fix) …I saw where someone was trying to do a how to for local TTS in the wiki with squeezebox action, but they never finished it and the link seems dead…I’d really like to see that happen

So currently no othermeans anymore to have squeezebox speak?

Please see the local TTS option posted by @Nicola_Reina in the thread referenced above…

You can ask there as @sam1 did recently GoogleTTS responding with 503 error (even after the URL fix), not sure if it has been addressed yet
