catalan language image #42
Description
Bellow are the current steps needed to make an image tuned for catalan language
Bundled Plugins
- https://github.com/JarbasLingua/jarbas-stt-plugin-chromium to ensure STT works since selene supports non-english langs by accident and it might be deprecated
- https://github.com/JarbasLingua/jarbas-wake-word-plugin-snowboy for "wake up" hotword
- https://github.com/JarbasLingua/jarbas-tts-plugin-voicerss
- https://github.com/JarbasLingua/jarbas-tts-plugin-catotron
- https://github.com/JarbasLingua/jarbas-wake-word-plugin-vosk + catalan model from https://github.com/JarbasLingua/iberian-vosk
- https://github.com/HelloChatterbox/dummy_wakeword_plugin to allow disabling wakewords (should be a default in every image imho )
Patches
- Upgrade to Lingua Franca 0.3+ MycroftAI/mycroft-core#2772 core support for lingua_franca 0.3.X
- lingua_franca from source to include catalan, while next version isnt released
Additional dependencies
- festival
apt-get -y install festival festvox-ca-ona-hts lame - maybe snowboy, plugin includes pre-compiled binaries this will need testing, https://github.com/JarbasLingua/jarbas-wake-word-plugin-snowboy/blob/master/compiling.md
- vlc for proper https streams handling
