The voice_manager package is designed for managing text-to-speech interactions in the KUAMS system. It subscribes to an ID and publishes the corresponding text for speech output.

• Subscribes to speak_text_id topic for receiving an ID.
• Publishes corresponding text to speak topic for speech synthesis.
• Compatible with the raspicat_speak2 package for seamless text-to-speech functionality.

• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04
• ROS2 Distribution: Humble Hawksbill
• Dependencies:
  • raspicat_speak2

1. Clone the repository into your ROS2 workspace:

   cd ~/your_ros2_workspace/src
   git clone https://github.com/kzm784/voice_manager

2. Build the workspace:

   cd ~/your_ros2_workspace
   colcon build --packages-select voice_manager
   source install/setup.bash

Run the voice_manager node using the launch file:

ros2 launch voice_manager voice_manager.launch.py

The package uses a YAML file for configuration. Ensure that the path to your ID-to-text CSV file is correctly specified in config/config_voice_manager.yaml:

id_to_text_csv: "/path/to/your/id_to_text.csv"

• Subscribed Topics:
  • /speak_text_id (std_msgs/msg/Int32): Accepts an ID to determine the text to be spoken.
• Published Topics:
  • /speak (std_msgs/msg/String): Publishes the text corresponding to the ID.

Publish an ID to the speak_text_id topic:

ros2 topic pub -1 /speak_text_id std_msgs/msg/Int32 "{data: 1}"

The corresponding text will be published on the speak topic.

• Ensure that the raspicat_speak2 package is installed and operational for speech synthesis.
• Verify the correctness of your id_to_text.csv file and its path in the YAML configuration.
