Voice PE responds with gibberish

[oblique whale]

When I ask Voice PE to open the bedroom cover, it responds with "oh, the fvfvfvfvfvfvfvfvvfvfvfvfv". What's going on here?

From the parser

  name: HassTurnOn
slots:
  name: bedroom cover
details:
  name:
    name: name
    value: bedroom cover
    text: bedroom cover
targets:
  cover.sovrum_rullgardin:
    matched: true
match: true
sentence_template: <open> <name> [in <area>]
unmatched_slots: {}
source: builtin```

It does the action, but the response is what you hear every time.

This is hilarious, looks like that girl is very cold

Which TTS do you use?

[oblique whale]

piper, cori medium

[jolly crypt]

First i'd try HA cloud or Google TTS instead

Then different voices.

[oblique whale]

Yeah seems to work with google.

[jolly crypt]

I might guess it's sample rate.

[sharp ridge]

I don't think it's sample rate as the Intonation changes. Maybe wrong language TTS trying to parse another language?

Hm, cori should be English though. Can you try another piper voice model?

[jolly crypt]

hmm, you probably right

[sharp ridge]

I know this from Eleven labs trying to say numbers in German...also very funny, but usually not informative 😄

" it's 9 o'clock fortyfiftfvutive o'clock"

[jolly crypt]

My piper hfc_male can't say "o'clock" for some reason too

it sounds more like "eccloqui"... Had to remove that word (and manually remove "00" from time minutes) to remove that trouble.
