Vici dial support for Google TTS

[tchristeas]

Hello everyone, I have recently setup a server running the following version/build
VERSION: 2.14-915a
BUILD: 240418-0836

From the documentation, it looks like Cepstral is the only supported TTS engine.

Can Vicidial be configured to support Google TTS? If not are there plans to support Google TTS?

Regards

you can really use any TTS, google, vosk, whatever. Cepstral is just the built in support, but anything with an api can be integrated into vicidial.

Pretty sure there was a post by mflorell explaining why support for Google TTS isn't likely to be integrated (because google randomly drops projects without warning?). But I didn't find it.

However: carpenox is right. TTS integration exists and you can piggyback that integration with any TTS system now that's it's included.

Question:

TTS for IVR interaction? (Call menu, decisionmaking) or custom audio directly related to each client for a "no agent" outbound notification system or ... what?
