Speech Generation Vosk comes with a very basic speech generator node. You can publish strings to the tts/phrase topic to speak them. Write a node to listen for speech and then repeat that speech back Write a node that listens for speech commands from a user and responds (use gestures from project[0]): ** When a user says 'Hi' or 'Hello', the robot should wave ** When a user says 'yes' or 'no', the robot should nod or shake its head Write a node that listens for a string, then speaks that string using text to speech. If the string includes 'hello' then the user should wave, nod or shake for yes or no as well, when the speech engine gets to that word list in python. Thank you

00:01 We're going to explore the intricacies of speech production, perception, and the challenges involved in replicating natural human speech through automation.

00:09 We'll delve into why simply splicing together isolated phonemes fails to produce natural -sounding speech, the ganong effect and its relevance to understanding spoken language, how ventriloquists create the illusion of their dummy speaking, and the role of context in speech comprehension.

00:30 This discussion will shed light on the complexity of speech and the sophisticated mechanisms behind our ability to perceive and interpret it.

01:06 Splicing together exemplar phonemes spoken in isolation to generate speech often results in unnatural -sounding speech because it neglects the coarticulation effects present in natural speech production.

01:22 Coarticulation means that the articulation of a particular phoneme is influenced by the preceding and following phonemes, leading to variations in how the phoneme is produced.

01:33 This dynamic adjustment is missing when phonemes are recorded in isolation, resulting in a robotic or disjointed output that lacks the fluidity of natural speech.

01:45 The ganong effect demonstrates how prior knowledge influences our perception of ambiguous sounds.

02:01 When listeners are presented with a sound that could be interpreted as either of two phonemes, their interpretation is swayed by the lexical context.

02:10 For example, if an ambiguous sound falls between a k and a g, listeners are more likely to hear k if it results in a recognizable word, kiss versus kiss.

02:23 This effect highlights the brain's tendency to resolve ambiguities in favor of meaningful, contextually appropriate interpretations, showcasing the interaction between phonetic perception and linguistic understanding.

03:01 Ventriloquists exploit several features of speech perception to create the illusion that the dummy is speaking.

03:21 Articulation suppression.

03:23 They minimize the movement of their lips and jaw to reduce visual cues that they are the ones speaking...
