piper

Indeed piper performs very well. Thank you for the input, I will most certainly consider adding the option to select tts engine in the near future, piper sounds totally worth it.

speech-dispatcher

If you are referring to locally generated speech synthesis, the respecting outcome as far as I am concerned generally sounds generally poorer, and is more difficult to manage. However you can check out the original project https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo, where the audio files are generated locally.

Do you mean an option to choose between various tts methods?

And, as far as

        send-your-text-to-Microsoft bit

  

goes, well, if MS wants a copy of Brothers Karamazov, they can save themselves the trouble and get it here , it is free https://www.gutenberg.org/

I totally undersand what you are saying. Initially, the original project used local text-to-speech, but was less than perfect, slower and cpu-costly.

You can check it out here https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo

Once a FOSS solution gets better and more usable, swapping the tts conversion is not a great deal.

Check out basht

As a matter of fact it is one of the scripts that I cannot do without, I use it everyday, it is very convenient. But then again I wrote it myself, so I can't be objective.

Hey, I know the guy who wrote the script, he is great.

Sure, it is a Potatomatic 4000, 2nd edition. No, not Alacrity. Thx though.

I have no idea. On an old potato laptop I tried it on it works ok, if I rush the keys, it is flickering a little.

This is a long list of terminal goodies: https://github.com/toolleeo/cli-apps/

Also, check the games that I have written, in the same spirit as this one:

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/ladder

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/mneme

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/tui-mines

https://gitlab.com/christosangel/spelion

Someone should come up with a new distro with the name potatOS, just for cases like this .

I am still using the arrow keys, I must be an idiot , too. If this script helps you with the vim movements, you can check out for the same reason two or three scripts of mine, in the same repo: tui-mines, mneme,tui-sudoku.

I went on and added an if statement and a message to install.sh, just for the issue you mentioned...

De gustibus et coloribus... I like bash.

It works for me.

About .local/bin/ not existing, or not being in the $PATH, that is why I also propose running the script locally, from the same directory with ./mneme.sh

Thanks, I am glad you like it.

Please return to windows.

Welp, also solves the 'Which distro to use?' issue.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since many youngsters who unlike me, a senior citizen, live on the edge and hate vim keys or arrow keys, have requested an alternative navigation keys set up, I have just implemented a configuration option that satisfies just that.

By editing the config file (either within the application or just editing ~/.config/tui-mines/tui-mines.config, and changing the NAVIGATION_KEYS value from vim+arrows (default) to aswd+arrows, the user can use the aswd keys to navigate in the game grid, just as requested.

No other commands or hacks are needed.

Arrow keys remain hardcoded, because they remind me of my youth, as an archer, during the Peloponnesian War

Ευχαριστω!

And to see the correct cheatsheet as well: sed -i 's/hjkl/awsd/' tui-mines.sh
