Amazon Polly TTS code

Perhaps you can customize the workaround that @ule posted when SmartThings was having major issues with it’s own TTS engine?

Better an Reloaded Fix for TTS (TextToSpeech)

Hi, This is a try to work around the TextToSpeach function Problem, I have created a new function using Google TTS, Google API is now requesting captcha to use the function, but the parameters here avoid the captcha, I have tested and works fine to me. Google function have a limit to avoid abuse, but most of common users will have not problems, heavy duty users can be blocked for some minutes Update: Google have some problems with several request, they block for some time if you request frequently, I have found a great service, this service allows free 350 request per day, with almost not characters limit and great quality voice. You must to register to get an API Key, the register is so easy and you don´t need to answer the email to confirm registration. http://www.voicerss.org/re…
