Aloware Hummingbird

Simple, browser-based, voice-enabled Public Announcement system for small teams.

Also, a nice example of HTML5 text to speech, Web Speech API

Why

Our software Aloware is noisy. We (developers, admins) get a lot of notifications by email and on Slack. Sometimes things get lost.

This tool solves for that specific issue by implementing Speech to Text as a standalone, web-driven and API-based microservice.

Just hook it up to a TV, turn up the volume, and click start! Your developers can now push messages (and soon bells) to Hummingbird's API, and the message gets played, load and clear.

Run time

• Get a Pusher account.
• Stand up the node server DEBUG=myapp:* npm start
• Open index: localhost:3000
• Give it 3 seconds to load the voices.
• Click "start". This is necessary to be your user interaction.
• Send your stuff to http://localhost:3000/intake?type=text&message=a new user has registered
• Turn up the volume.
