For some reason, RHVoice never appears in the list of TTS Services (AwesomeTTS)

Anki Add-ons

I have zero idea on what could be causing this to happen.
I tried to copy bits and pieces over to SpanishDict, and when that caused nothing to happen, I then copied over the entire code. Which then caused it to disappear.
So it’s either something with the code itself or something about my setup that it just can’t handle.
I’ve tried using all three ways of RHVoice: Source, Snap, and AUR. None of them showed up in AwesomeTTS, even if they worked perfectly fine. And I need to use the Snap version anyway because I need to use Dünýä.
Can anybody lend a hand?

I want to make sure I understand – because as far as I know, AwesomeTTS doesn’t support RHVoice. Are you trying to modify the add-on to add support for it?

That might be a question that would be better to raise with the add-on developer in GitHub. GitHub - Vocab-Apps/anki-awesome-tts: AwesomeTTS Anki Addon

No, it definitely supports it. I checked.

Actually, I forget how I even got knowledge of RHVoice’s existence in AwesomeTTS. If it’s so obscure not even you know, maybe it’s best to bring it to the head honcho.
The implementation of RHVoice in AwesomeTTS only supports Linux. That’s probably why it’s so obscure.

It does exist though. I’ll ask the dev and see what I get from the results.

That’s probably why it doesn’t show up for me! And if it’s a supported service, then Luc will definitely be the right one to take a look at the issue.

Sorry I probably won't look into RHvoice, lack of time.

Not like I really can. From what I can tell, nobody supports Georgian, Serbian and Turkmen all at the same time other than RHVoice. Besides, the services that would support Georgian, Serbian, and Turkmen all at once would probably be subscriptions. Which I can't pay.
I'm going to try to use Google Translate TTS for the Serbian voice, but RHVoice for Georgian and Turkmen. Despite originally wanting Azure.
Does that reason make sense?

Hi,
sorry for replying a month later.
RHVoice is a very ancient platform and its audio quality is now going to be way behind other platforms. Is there a reason you are not using more modern TTS services ?

And for some reason, I can't find the problematic section of=0A code. Because it always stays. Forever. Until I copy-paste all of=0A the AwesomeTTS RHVoice code into whatever I'm using to test what=0A it is - only then does it disappear.

It's probably from what I can tell, either:

  • The code for the RHVoice implementation when bits and pieces=0A are put in is fine, but together AwesomeTTS hates
  • Un-updated pieces of code (maybe something just doesn't exist=0A anymore, culprit may be rhvoice.sd being missing)
  • Or maybe the comment is wrong (maybe it only supports one very=0A specific version of Linux)
But I don't actually know.  I don't know the ins and outs of=0A AwesomeTTS and thus; I can't debug it. Even if I did know the ins=0A and outs of it, I don't know how to code yet, so that's something.

You mind going ahead and trying to find out what is going on?=0A You're definitely better at this than I am.

(i have a feeling the previous message was confusing. i hope it=0A wasnt because i dont know how to write it less confusingly)

Unfortuately, I forgot Google Translate doesn’t have Serbian here. Sooooo oops.
Oh well. Guess that’s not gonna be resolved any time soon.
