@smarthome Impossible. ASSISTANT_SAY is not perfect solution to make mirror saying something. At any time it could be changed by Google how it works. When I implement that feature at first time, there is no additional “Repeat after me” spoken phrase, but Google changed it’s working way. So I didn’t recommend using it. Use real TTS solution to make your mirror say something.

I’ also active billing account to enable Google Cloud text to Speech API to use your MMM Google-TTS Module
But, this can not speak my local language (Vietnamese) like ASSISTANT_SAY can
How to do that?

@smarthome
Sorry, Vietnamese is not supported (https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/voices)

@Sean
After your answer, I’m looking for google cloud amd find out the way to make it support, hi
Not only Vietnamese language, a wide range of local language, like assistant language
That’ now MMM Google TTS work ok with vietnamese language
Tks!

How can google TTS respond to the answers I have prepared? eg :

“smart mirror, I want to drink something.” - Me
“This is your drink.” - Smart mirror answers.
So how to do that?
I have successfully installed the api and modules, but i dont know how…
Sorry i am newbie

Recommending beverage is not the job of this module.
But if you have MMM-RecommendDrinks (Of course, currently it exists not), You can make an order of I want to drink something to MMM-AssistantMk2 then, AMK2 would transfer your order to that RD module, and RD can RESPONSE with voice via TTS module.
So, that feature is for developers not for end-users directly.

@Sean i mean i want to set default question and answers with voice response (using google TTS. I dont know how to command to create . :(

By default, If the response could be handled by Assistant itself, it can response with voice. (e.g : “How’s the weather today?” - “It’s rainy blah blah…”)
So what is your default question? hmmm… It’s better to tell me “YOUR REAL INTENTION or SCENARIO” - what you want.

In case that you need some extended response from MM & modules
By example,

if you want to get a response “Yes, sir!” when you order “Shut down now” (by your custom command),
- Use custom action instead transcriptionHook on making a command. custom action can handle a simple static voice response.(around 150 words)
But more complex dynamic conversation like - “Read me first article of news module” then “New york times said blah blah…”
- You should modify news module to speak somethings, and at that time TTS solution be needed.
- And the role of AMK2 is just sending “Read first article” order to news module. That is the way how it works.

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Your electron-rebuild was failed on installation.
If your gcc version is 8, downgrade to 7 and reinstall again.
