# RemoteTTS
The software realises a text-to-speech application using the operating systems TTS features. The text is provided via a TCP/UDP interface.
In addition, the software reports is state depending on the hosts power state, e.g. "bye-bye" when the host is goind to suspend or "alive" after it resumed to indicate the availability of the service. Therefore, `1` resp. `0` is send while 1 represents *service aliv*e and 0 indicates a *shutdown / bye-bye* of the service.
Using MS Windows, the program can detect resume and suspend events on its own an reports the status. This feature is not implemented for linux os.
Following a [StackOverFlow thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23901419/how-to-capture-suspend-event-in-qt-linux) On linux you can put the following shell script in /etc/pm/sleep.d which executes a program with arguments. You can start a program and notify your main application in some way :
```
#!/bin/bash
case $1 in
suspend)
#suspending to RAM
/Path/to/Program/remotetts --byebye
;;
resume)
#resume from suspend
sleep 3
/Path/to/Program/remotetts --alive
;;
esac
```
The software provides a simple GUI for configuration.
A notification sound can be played prior to speak the submitted text (attention getter).
The project moved from [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/remotetts/) to GitHub end of February 2024.
