[Announce] node-red-contrib-pico2wave (beta)

[JGKK]

This is a very barebones and simple node to utilize the pico2wave commandline tool easily from nodered. It does exactly one thing . The node converts an input string to spoken audio in the chosen language with svox pico tts. You can choose from english, french, german, italian and spanish. You can configure the node to either output a single wav buffer or write the audio to a wav file. You can find the node here:

johanneskropf/node-red-contrib-pico2wave

Thats it :

Version 0.0.2

• added typedInput for both input and output (so the stt text now can also come from a flow, a global variable or a string and the result can be put out to any msg property)
• cleaned up the menu of the node and added icons

Hello @stefan24, Have you got git installed? Because i think you need that to install directly from a repository with npm

[stefan24]

You are right! This is my test Node-RED (running on a Raspi 4) just installed today for voice2json, so I decided to install this node, too.
After installing git (nothing else despite the dependencies) it throws these errors:

gyp ERR! build error
gyp ERR! stack Error: `make` failed with exit code: 2

gyp ERR! node -v v12.18.2
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v5.1.0

and some warnings, but the node works now. Thank you!

hmm don’t think those errors have anything to do with my nodes. At least i haven’t seen them before but i am not nom expert by any stretch of the imagination and im still quite new to the whole nodered node development thing

and some warnings, but the node works now.

Install sometimes give errors along the way, but provided at the end it shows that it has installed ok (it will show the node name and the version) then it is nothing to worry about.

[dceejay]

though it is odd that you have npm v5 ... the install script should get you to npm v6

[stefan24]

pi@voice-red:~ $ npm --version
6.14.5

[dceejay]

sorry - I'm losing it... I read the node-gyp line as npm for some reason...

Though there must be some more to that error log either before or after.

[stefan24]

not really.

Since the node is working, I do not need to resolve the errors, but if you wish: I just installed flogger and get the same errors again:
