Where's Waldo or Charlie? Random response by Google Mini
Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2020 7:02 pm
Hello. Here is a small Push2Run project that allows you to have funny or not random audio responses on the Google Mini to questions
such as "where is XXX" or "what is XXX doing". The number of possible responses is unlimited. I settled for 10 so far.
I use the site https://ttsmp3.com/text-to-speech/French/ for the different usable voices and the Google Chrome Cast to stream it
to the Google Mini. This site also allows for pitch variations and other vocal manipulations that I have not experienced yet.
I used this method because Microsoft Hortense's voice is not very good in French and is the only one available in french with Rob's Cast.
This program is easily adaptable for English or other languages. It uses a Batch File and 2 AutoHotkey scripts. It is easily integrated into Push2Run.
I am not including my Push2Run card because it depends on the directories you are going to use.
P.S. I have 2 Chromecast and 2 Google Mini at home. The selection, in the scripts, must be modified according to your setup.
