Where can I get more info about how long Piper takes to read a text?
I'm using the option to debug an voice assitant, and the raw log shows that Piper run in less than 0.3ms (diff between tts-start timestamp and tts-end) which I highly doubt. I'm running Piper as a HA add-on, both running inside a VM, hosted in a N100 CPUx4, with 16Gb RAM.

TTS messages are cached, so if it is a repeat of a prior request it probably came from the cache
otherwise would ned to look in the piper logs
think Piper doesn't log any of that by default until you turn on debug logging

Already tried 😦 Changed the model to make sure it is not cached, still <1ms. Enabled debug logging, nothing in piper logs (just a bunch of periodic 'Sent info' lines). Enabled debug logging in Wyoming integration, but nothing in HA log.

did you try clearing tts cache?
and you'd probably need to check the addon logs, not core HA log
bitter jungle
I didn't, i assumed that new sentences and/or new modes was enough. Ill figure out how to clear it and try again
But nothing in the logs, not in addon or HA, despite having debugging enabled everywhere

Ok, you were right. Enabling the debug log and cleaning the cache helps.
As suspected, the timestamps in the debug assistant UI are wrong, specifically tts-end. The debug log from the addon shows a more believable timestamp.
HA voice debug UI shows tts-end at 09:16:26.49, less than 1ms after tts-start
The addon log shows Piper ended processing the request at 09:16.37.36, about 860ms after it started.
