google tts

[hammerheaddown]

i have tried to dummy down you code so that i could test with just the google tts for now cause all i get is rebooting, so i am trying to get it working in a basic way 1st and then add it it my project. below is my code

`
#include "Arduino.h"
#include <Audio.h>
#include "esp_task_wdt.h"

Audio audio_play;
const int volume = 20;

// Digital I/O used
#define I2S_BCLK 5
#define I2S_DOUT 6
#define I2S_LRC 4

const char* TTS_GOOGLE_LANGUAGE = "en";

TaskHandle_t audioTaskHandle = NULL;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
audio_play.setPinout(I2S_BCLK, I2S_LRC, I2S_DOUT);
audio_play.setVolume(volume); // default 0...21

// Configure and initialize the watchdog timer
esp_task_wdt_config_t wdt_config = {
.timeout_ms = 30000, // 30 seconds timeout
.idle_core_mask = (1 << portNUM_PROCESSORS) - 1, // All cores will be monitored
.trigger_panic = true // Trigger a panic on timeout
};
esp_task_wdt_init(&wdt_config);
esp_task_wdt_add(NULL); // Add current task to WDT

// Create audio handling task
xTaskCreatePinnedToCore(audioLoopTask, "audioLoop", 8192, NULL, 1, &audioTaskHandle, 1);
}

void loop() {
String text = "Hey freddoh! What can I help you with today? This is a longer sentence to check splitting. And here's another one for word integrity. i want to thank everyone for calling me on my birthday this year. and if you forget me last year then, fine. you are no longer my friends. hahah just kidding";

speakTextInChunks(text, 93); // Using Google TTS with 93 characters max length

// Stop the loop after playing all segments once
while (true) {
delay(1000);
}
}

void audioLoopTask(void *pvParameters) {
for(;;) {
if (audio_play.isRunning()) {
audio_play.loop();
}
vTaskDelay(1); // Yield CPU
}
}

void speakTextInChunks(String text, int maxLength) {
int start = 0;
while (start < text.length()) {
int end = start + maxLength;

// Ensure we don't split in the middle of a word
if (end < text.length()) {
  while (end > start && text[end] != ' ' && text[end] != '.' && text[end] != ',') {
    end--;
  }
}

// If no space or punctuation is found, just split at maxLength
if (end == start) {
  end = start + maxLength;
}

String chunk = text.substring(start, end);
Serial.println("Starting to speak chunk...");
Serial.println(chunk);
Serial.println("Calling connecttospeech");
audio_play.connecttospeech(chunk.c_str(), TTS_GOOGLE_LANGUAGE);
Serial.println("Waiting for audio to finish...");
while (audio_play.isRunning()) {
  vTaskDelay(1); // Changed to vTaskDelay for better multitasking
  Serial.print("."); // Show activity
}
Serial.println("Finished playing chunk.");
delay(50); // Small delay between chunks to give system time to manage

start = end + 1;  // Move to the next part, skipping the space

}
}

but all i am getting is a rebooting still

can you tell me what you did to get that working? it would be greatly appreciated thanks
