VoiceNotFoundError ?

[ignacio82]

I'm trying to add a voice to piper and encountering an error. I added to voice to the folder that is mounted in /data but when I look at the log of my container I see the following:

Could you point me in the right direction?

I troubleshoot this today and found a solution.

You have to put the onnx and json files in the /share/piper directory in your Home Assistant, as per the documentation.
The name of the file / voice can be as you want, however, the json must have the same name (including the .onnx) but with the suffix json:

- llluis.onnx
- llluis.onnx.json

(you can replace llluis by whatever you want)

Then, you must make sure that the tag dataset inside the json must have the same name. In my example:

    "dataset": "llluis",

(I didn't pay much attention when training my model as I was just testing the whole thing. I had the value piper in this which must be some config I didn't set during training)

Also, make sure the language tag is as follow:

    "language": {
        "code": "pt_BR"
    },

(with whatever is the code for the language you want)

Remember to restart the Piper Add-On and the Wyoming integration.
After that, the VoiceNotFound error shall disapear and you can use the new voice.

Using the tts.speak service, you just have to pass the voice as an option:

service: tts.speak
target:
  entity_id: tts.piper
data:
  cache: true
  media_player_entity_id: media_player.nabu1
  message: Test
  options:
    voice: llluis

Hi all,

I am having the same issue. Running the docker in Synology DSM with command parameters "--voice en_US-lessac-medium", i get an error stating it is unable to download the voice and thus terminates.

Any idea why may this be happening?

Thanks!
